Over the summer we've been around the country looking at all kinds of community conservation initiatives.
Today we're in Auckland to find out about the Kaipātiki Project that for 21 years has inspired people to restore New Zealand's native plants, birds, bugs and fish.
This not for profit organisation is based in north Auckland, there's a thriving native plant nursery and they encourage ecosystem restoration initiatives, including planting and weeding days, stream care and pest control management.
