Waitākere Ranges Protection Society
The Waitākere Ranges Protection Society (WRPS) was incorporated in 1973. Its purpose is the conservation and protection of the Waitākere Ranges to oppose any activity that may threaten or adversely affect the natural environment in the area.
WRPS and its members are strong advocates for the conservation and protection of the natural environment of the Waitākere Ranges and WRPS was one of the key groups promoting the concept of the Waitākere Ranges Heritage Area (WRHA) for 35 years before it was achieved through an Act of Parliament in 2008.
