Established by passionate peninsula landowners in 2001, Banks Peninsula Conservation Trust has grown to become one of New Zealand's most impactful conservation organisations.

​

We work hand-in-hand, and shoulder-to-shoulder with landowners, mana whenua, community groups, agencies, businesses and schools. We plant new native trees, we re-establish ancient podocarp forests, we protect special areas of biodiversity on private land, we remove pest animals and weeds, we re-introduce species when it’s safe to do so, and we build climate-resilience through our targeted community programmes.

​

We work in partnership with respect and purpose to deliver a shared vision: to ensure our precious native flora and fauna can thrive now and for the generations to come.

​

'Let this land tell your story – through its cacophony of bird song, its rich plant and animal life, thriving habitats, and people making a good life.’
