SIRCET Community Native Plant Nursery

The SIRCET Community Native Plant Nursery propagates a variety of native plants, primarily for ecological restoration projects on Stewart Island/Rakiura. They focus on eco-sourced species, including nationally-significant threatened plants like the Southern Rātā, to reintroduce them to key restoration sites. Operating as a volunteer-led project, the nursery also makes plants available to local residents for an affordable donation. This initiative supports biodiversity enhancement and community engagement in environmental stewardship.
