The Society aims to protect and conserve the natural environment in the Waitakere Ranges as a remarkable place of high value, for its ecosystems, for the beauty of its rugged landscape, its ocean and harbour shores and for its native plant and animal life, for its own sake, for its value to people and for the generations to come.
The Society aims to provide an unequivocal voice speaking for this area of exceptional natural heritage, to raise awareness through education, research, publication and promotion of the importance and the value of the Waitakere Ranges to New Zealand’s environmental heritage preservation and well being.
The Society opposes any scheme or activity which might significantly adversely affect the natural ecosystems and landscape of the Waitakere Ranges.
