Woven Social... Coming soon!
If you’re seeing this, you’ve found Mohua’s most exciting secret.
You can think of Woven as the digital lovechild of Facebook, the village marketplace, and the community noticeboard—(minus Mark Zuckerberg’s creepy spying). Born in Golden Bay, Woven is built to amplify local stories, grow local economies, and deepen community connections. It’s the online home Mohua deserves.
What is Woven Social?
Woven Social is Mohua’s new community platform—a vibrant digital basket filled with local stories, businesses, events, and grassroots projects. It’s social media without the endless scroll, local commerce without the middle man, and community without boundaries.
What can Woven do for me?
Connect & Share – Tell your story, find your people, and share updates without fighting algorithms.
Sell & Swap – Showcase your products and services locally, easily, and fee-free.
Discover & Host Events – From gigs to yoga, markets to mahi days—promote or find local happenings effortlessly.
Uplift Community Projects – Gather supporters, raise funds, and celebrate local impact in one connected place.
Why does Woven Exist?
Because stronger communities start with deeper connections. We believe money spent here should stay here, local heroes deserve louder voices, and our environment thrives when we trade close to home. It’s about weaving together people, purpose, place, and planet into something powerful, resilient, and uniquely Golden Bay.
Who is Woven Built for?
Businesses & Makers – Grow your customer base, amplify your story, and highlight your community impact.

About Project Janszoon
Project Janszoon is a privately funded trust set up to restore and preserve Abel Tasman’s rich wildlife for all to enjoy. It is a team effort involving conservationists, iwi, locals, scientists, tourism operators and volunteers. Together we’re making a difference.
Named after explorer Abel “Janszoon” Tasman, Project Janszoon was launched in 2012 with the generous support of New Zealand couple Neal and Annette Plowman, who have since established the $100 million philanthropic NEXT Foundation. Project Janszoon is committing millions to make transformational change in the Abel Tasman National Park.
When launched Project Janszoon was unique – it was the first time philanthropists had offered to partner with a government department to restore the ecology of a national park. Since then we have become the blueprint for other landscape scale collaborative conservation projects in Aotearoa.
The trust aims to reverse the trend of ecological decline in the park. We’re working with iwi – Ngāti Tama, Ngāti Rārua and Te Ātiawa, the Department of Conservation (DOC) and the community-led Abel Tasman Birdsong Trust to put things right. Together we’re getting rid of pests and weeds, bringing back native birds and bush, and inspiring a culture of care for Abel Tasman.
We’re reaching restoration milestones all the time with an aim of celebrating the transformation of the park by 2042 – in time for the park’s 100th anniversary.
OUR MISSION & GOALS
Together with our partners, Project Janszoon has set a goal of transforming the ecological prospects of the Abel Tasman National Park.
To ensure the gains are protected for future generations we have signed an agreement with the Government called the Tomorrow Accord. This agreement ensures that once agreed restoration outcomes are achieved, Project Janszoon hands responsibility for maintaining those gains to the Crown. It’s expected the first target, controlling wilding pines, will be achieved in 2021 with DOC then due to take over responsibility for ensuring the wildings don’t come back.
By 2042, on the park’s 100th anniversary, we hope to be celebrating;
Biodiversity values in the park are no longer threatened by incursions of invasive weed and pest species
Populations of key indicator species of birds, animals and plants are robust and show favourable trends on all vital measures
Strong investor and community interest ensures the improvements are secure
Visitors to the Park applaud an outstanding conservation success and look for ways to further enhance it
The model created by this project is being surpassed on other parts of New Zealand public conservation land
