Protect Piha Heritage Society Incorporated

The Society is a registered charity which promotes guardianship of the character, heritage (including natural heritage) and traditions of Piha as an iconic West Coast black-sand surf beach and self-reliant coastal village enclosed by dramatic landforms and forested ranges, which offers respite and the ability to be ‘one with nature’ to locals and visitors. The Society strives to ensure that development does not lead to urbanisation and commercialisation that may undermine the natural, cultural and historic values of the Piha area, resulting in the loss of the experience of being located on the wild edge of the great Tasman Sea.
