Muriwai draws a certain kind of person—those who embrace the sparkling surf of summer and the wild beauty of West Coast winters. It’s a place for those who love nature in its rawest form.
But keeping Muriwai special takes effort. There’s a lot to do to protect both our community and environment, ensuring this unique coastal settlement—just 30 minutes from Auckland—retains its character for generations to come. Now’s the time to step up and be part of that future.
Protecting Muriwai’s environment is something we can only achieve together. At Muriwai Environmental Trust (MET), we support and empower those who want to make a difference. If you have an idea or want to get involved, we welcome you!
Through funding, management support, and strong communication, we ensure local projects are effective, valued, and built to last. Whether you're a longtime local or new to the area, your contributions matter in shaping a sustainable future.
MET is a Registered Charitable Trust, led by a board of trustees dedicated to protecting and enhancing our community and environment.
Muriwai is more than a place—it’s a way of life. People live here for the love of nature, and that passion drives our collaborative approach.
It doesn’t matter if you’ve been here for a day or a lifetime—your ideas, efforts, and contributions are welcome. MET is apolitical and inclusive, inviting people of all backgrounds and experience levels to take action.
If you’re ready to make a difference, join us in protecting Muriwai for future generations.
