REPORTS 

Annual Report July 2025:
Welcome to our 2024/2025 annual report. During this past year the Piroa Conservation Trust (PCT) has continued to grow in strength and impact, thanks to the tireless efforts of volunteers, hapū partners, landowners, and supporters across our region.

From the hills of the Brynderwyns to the waterways of Bream Bay, our collective mahi has led to the elimination of over 6,500 pests, the expansion of predator control across 15,000 hectares, and the restoration of vital habitats through invasive weed removal, riparian planting, wetland regeneration, and innovative catchment projects.

This year, our work was recognised at the Northland Regional Council Whakamanawa a Taiao Environmental Awards, where PCT received accolades for Environmental Action in Water Quality and the Kiwi Coast Outstanding Project of the Year. These honours reflect the dedication and vision of our community and the long-term commitment to restoring biodiversity and protecting taonga species. Our catchment work mahi was also showcased at the annual Balance Farm Environmental Awards.

We celebrated our local conservation champions at the 2025 PCT Awards, highlighting inspiring individuals and groups—from tamariki trappers and weed warriors to habitat restorers and kiwi protectors—whose contributions are shaping a healthier, more resilient environment.

Our education programmes have flourished, engaging students in stream health monitoring, fish surveys, and kiwi listening, while our community nursery continues to thrive, supplying thousands of native plants and fostering environmental stewardship.

Looking ahead, we remain focused on strengthening partnerships, enhancing data collection, and expanding our reach through new roles and initiatives. With renewed funding and growing community support, PCT is well-positioned to continue its mission of protecting and regenerating our natural landscapes.
