SOSSI (Shakespear Open Sanctuary Society Inc)
Shakespear Regional Park lies at the tip of the Whangaparaoa Peninsula in New Zealand's North Island. It boasts sheltered bays, wetlands, regenerating native forest, cliffs, historic places and a lookout with views second to none.
The Shakespear Open Sanctuary is a partnership between the Shakespear Open Sanctuary Society and the Auckland Council, and has the support of the New Zealand Defence Force, who also own land within the Sanctuary.
The purpose of the Society is to turn this Regional Park into an Open Sanctuary by providing a safe haven for our native wildlife.
To this end, we are building a pest-proof fence that will keep predators at bay. Our dream is that one day in the not too distant future, Shakespear Open Sanctuary will come alive with the calls of kiwi and the sights and sounds of myriad native wildlife.
