The purpose of this page is to allow any local Snells Beach Group the ability to post group activity information without having to create their own website. Access to any group will be by way of a button on the front page or a link under the LOCAL GROUP page. In 2025 there will be a deliberate move toward being a more “community-focused” and, so the top item will be called Community Roundup, with links to the relevant reports.
Current Groups are;
1: Mahurangi Trail Society: https://snellsbeach.co.nz/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Mahurangi-Trail-Planting-dates-2024.pdf
2: Highfield Donkey Society: https://snellsbeach.co.nz/highfield_donkeys/

Together, we’re fostering lasting and positive change – achieving landscape scale environmental impact.
7:Pest Free Me : https://www.restorerodneyeast.org.nz/pest-free-mahurangi-east
After islands, peninsulas rank as the next key prospects for pest-free initiatives, with their coastal boundaries reducing the chance of reinvasion.
Mahurangi East, with around 6,000 permanent residents and rapid urbanization, encounters both challenges and opportunities in its efforts to eradicate pests.
Pest Free Mahurangi East promotes a cooperative strategy by partnering with other local pest-free projects, addressing gaps, and providing training and coordination.
8:Friends of Awa Matakanakana (FOAM): https://awamatakanakana.home.blog/
Friends of Awa Matakanakana (FOAM) recognises the importance of protecting the environmental, cultural, historical, commercial and recreational values of the river system
and the wider Kawau Bay for present and future generation
9: Forest & Bird: https://www.forestandbird.org.nz/branches/warkworth-area
The Warkworth Area branch covers the area between Puhoi and Maungaturoto. Members and friends work together to restore te taiao.
