About us
The Manawatu Branch encompasses a very diverse area from an environmental, ecological, geological and geographical perspective, extending from Dannevirke to Fielding, Palmerston North and beyond.
Our region is bordered on two sides by the Ruahine and Tararua Ranges, contains the headwaters of the Manawatu River as well as much of the river course and flood plain, and includes the unique Manawatu Gorge.
The Branch has roughly 500 members, many of whom are active, working together to help enhance or restore the environment, as well as members who are happy to attend monthly meetings or purely read about our Branch and what it gets up to.
A youth group is currently under development, and, additionally, around 150 children are in the Kids Conservation Club (KCC).
You can find us on Facebook - F&B Manawatu and F&B Manawatu Youth

Situations vacant on the Branch Committee
FOREST AND BIRD MANAWATU - WE NEED YOU!
SITUATIONS VACANT on the Branch Committee, or filling specific roles:
The Branch has been very active this year and wishes to do even more in 2018. We really do need more people to help us to continue to develop these activities. Here are some of the roles we would like to fill. If you want to talk about or can help in these, or any other role, maybe on the Committee or perhaps from the comfort of your own home, please contact any Committee member or Anthea. Anthea can also be contacted at Manawatu.Branch@forestandbird.org.nz
You will need to be a member of Forest & Bird to help on the Committee (membership details below), but that is quick and easy to sign up to and is not too expensive.
Thanks for thinking about how you can help.

The Manawatu Branch is looking for people to serve on the Committee. If you are interested in local conservation and environmental matters and would like to help with the Committee decisions, now is your chance.
