Protecting the environment and managing natural resources is a key responsibility of regional councils. Regional councils are often also involved in pest control and resource management.

Protect biodiversity by controlling browsers, pest plants and predators. Support iwi and community groups who protect and restore habitat.
Incentivise private landowners to protect their biodiversity prioritising covenants by QEII National Trust and Nga Whenua Rāhui kawenata.
Ensure land development consent conditions prevent off site impacts, monitor and be a strong regulator to enforce compliance of conditions.
To be fair, Greater Wellington has a very good record in protecting and enhancing the region's biodiversity. More of the same is advocated.
Pest eradication programs work if properly resourced and maintained. Substantial parts of the region are already there, more work to be done.
I advocate free public transport. If we are serious about reducing pollution then making comfortable, reliable public transport is a start.
Introduce kerbside compost weekly collection bins and offer households to opt into garden waste collection bins to reduce landfills.
Commit to prevent the Spicer landfill extension as high winds blow and spread rubbish throughout the forest and local neighbourhood.
Promote local hunters and trappers for possum skin and fur, instead of using 1080 poison which can leach into our waterways.
