Raise money for Waikanae Estuary Care Group

As part of the Kāpiti Half Marathon and 10km run you will run through the spectacular Waikanae Estuary. The Estuary is a scientific reserve of importance to the region and nationally. We are really lucky to be able to use this area and would like to preserve it for future generations. With your help we can make this happen. 

The Estuary is managed by a volunteer organisation through agreements with DOC and Kāpiti Coast District Council. As always with volunteer groups they are run off the smell of an oily rag and always scraping for funding. We would like to help WECG develop this land for future generations and with your generosity we can fast track progress.

The Waikanae Estuary Care Group inc. (WECG) commenced in 2004 through the efforts of locals who noticed that the Waikanae Estuary Scientific Reserve, which had been set aside back in 1987, had become an exotic weed wasteland, and they wanted to restore it as much as possible to its natural state.

The estuary reserves consist of an area of approximately 79 hectares – 69 ha on the south side of the Waikanae River  and 10 ha on the northern side.
