Descripción
Nestled on the slopes of the second highest peak in Northland, New Zealand, the nature sanctuary consists of 100 hectares of regenerating native forest. Views of the ocean, an unexplored forest, and the song of native birds are just the some of the many experiences to be had.

While everyone discovers the world in their own personal way, here is what Pupu Rangi aims to be:

*️️️️️️️️️️️️️ an area of protected New Zealand native forest
*️️️️️️️️️️️️️ a place of learning about the forest and nature
*️️️️️️️️️️️️️ a place of self-discovery
*️️️️️️️️️️️️️ a place to meet like-minded people

The sanctuary traces its inception to the wonder experienced while exploring various corners of the globe and to the realization that everything begins, exists, and ends in the middle of nature.

Our sanctuary is home to many of the native species of trees and birds that require active protection from introduced predators. The native forest is classified as having national significance and no logging is allowed within the sanctuary. Local council and private funds are used for the following projects:

*️️️️️️️️️️️️️ fencing of the forest to prevent the entrance of the grazing cattle
*️️️️️️️️️️️️️ building and marking of walking tracks
*️️️️️️️️️️️️️ possum, stoat, ferret, and feral cat trapping
* monitoring of endangered species such as kiwi, kokako, and bats

Travelers will learn about the native New Zealand nature and about the ways to protect it. They will also get a chance to experience living off-grid with like-minded individuals.
Ayuda
At the moment (please consult our calendar) we are looking for some general help around the sanctuary (painting, gardening, cleaning up) and with some conservation activities.

In return, you will get to learn about New Zealand conservation and you will live at the edge of a forest where kiwi live.

Basic accommodation and delicious food is provided.

If this sounds good to you and you are not afraid of the rain, mud, or wind, please contact us.

Corinna is an amazing workawayer. She is full of energy and courage and she is doing the kind of work that others would tire by just reading about it. She was not afraid to take a plunge in the middle of a jungle-like rainforest and cut her way through to create new tracks. She is a quick learner and performs her tasks very well.

Chloe has been a great help during her one week stay at the sanctuary. Thrown in the deep end, she was able to complete a number of conservation tasks in the forest and help us greatly to make progress in our work.

Chloe is positive, willing to give things a go, and not afraid to ask questions when required. Highly recommended!

Nikki and John have been amazing helpers! They did not shy away from hard work (cutting tracks in the forest is not easy work) and they were always keen to offer extra help. Their positive attitude and pleasant company will be missed. So will John's poems... :) I would recommend Nikki and John to any of the workaway hosts.

Clara has stayed with us for a week and has been a great help and company. Her positive attitude and infectious laugh have been immortalized with a name for one of the tracks that she helped cut! Clara does not shy away from hard work and has always looked to do more than asked. I would recommend Clara to all of the workaway hosts.
