Taiao Team
Regenerating our place
Families and communities can only be healthy and thriving when the air, water, soil and life around us is also healthy and thriving. The Taiao Team at ME Family Services works to regenerate our local ecosystems and to nurture positive, reciprocal relationships between people and place in Māngere/Ōtāhuhu, recognising and valuing the unique potential that is in all.
We provide; Waste education and support to reduce and regenerate waste, a Recovery Room and Resource Recovery Network, our Te Puna Oranga community garden and makerspace, the Māngere Ngahere Project, local stream education and community engagement around the Harania Stream, Pest-Free Māngere/Ōtāhuhu to support for our community to create balance in our biodiversity, and opportunities for the Māngere Taiao Network to connect and collaborate in our area.
