Kerikeri is a special town rich with history and surrounded by the true natural beauty of the Wairoa Stream and the Waipekakoura River. As the second-largest urban population in Northland after Whangārei, Kerikeri is uniquely positioned to become a flagship for urban conservation in the region.

The community here is already leading the way — with passionate groups restoring waterways, protecting kiwi, and clearing trap lines. Tiakina Kerikeri will build on this strong foundation, working alongside locals to support, connect, and amplify existing efforts. Together, we’ll create a thriving, conservation-focused community where nature and people flourish side by side.

Kerikeri sits within the Mid North High Value Area, an area identified by the public as critical for conservation. Yet, despite its ecological importance, urban conservation resources have been limited. Tiakina Kerikeri aims to change that — bringing new energy, tools, and support to ensure nature thrives once again in our town.

With its vibrant community, stunning natural assets, and proven conservation leadership, Kerikeri is the next logical step for Tiakina. Let’s grow something extraordinary — together.
