There is nature all around us! Knowing what species are in our city and where they are helps us study and protect them. One way to do that is through citizen science projects which identify and document the wild things in our city. This weekend Wellington will take on the global wildlife count, the City Nature Challenge 2025.

Did you know Porirua Harbour was originally named Parirua, which translates to "twin flowings of the tide"? Our harbour has two arms; Onepoto, which means “short beach” and Pāuatahanui, meaning “large shellfish”. Watch the video below to learn about our city centre’s name that was gifted by Ngāti Toa Rangatira to reflect its transformation. Te Manawa means a central place where many people gather, and their hearts beat as one. | Porirua City Council
