Keep Te Aroha Beautiful

Creating a beautiful safe and sustainable environment in Te Aroha and surroundings

Operating under the umbrella of the Parent organization Keep
New Zealand Beautiful, early focus was on tidying up littered areas and removing or covering over
unwanted graffiti…

Keep Te Aroha Beautiful operates a native plant nursery at Te Aroha College. Plants from the nursery are used for community planting projects in and around Te Aroha. We supply other groups with plants for free it they go on public land. We make surplus plants available to public at competitive prices, which will help with operating costs.

We are a small group of volunteers who are passionate about Te Aroha. We organize events and facilitate projects involving the community, to protect and enhance our town’s environment…

Each second Sunday of the month Te Aroha has a Country Market. Initially at Mangaiti, the market
moved to Boyds Park in Te Aroha from September 2023.

What we do

Current Projects

Graffiti Management

Graffiti clean-up – Te Aroha!! Here in Te Aroha, we are a pretty close-knit community and as quickly as graffiti appears.

Predator Control

Keep Te Aroha Beautiful is not actively involved in predator control (pest animal control) but is supportive of people who wish to start control in their own environment.

Planting Projects

Until last year KTAB’s earliest plantings (2015) at August Street Reserve had come along really
well with minimal maintenance required

Working with Schools

This hands-on initiative educates youth on conservation, promotes ecological sustainability, and instills a sense of responsibility towards preserving our natural heritage for future generations.
