We are
Banks Peninsula Conservation Trust

Established by passionate peninsula landowners in 2001, Banks Peninsula Conservation Trust is transforming native biodiversity locally on the peninsula, supporting nature to move into Christchurch City and across Canterbury, and contributing valuable thought leadership to conservation practice across New Zealand.

This community-driven organisation is one of New Zealand’s great conservation success stories.

What We Do

We work alongside mana whenua, landowners, local and central government, conservation agencies and community groups to deliver real and lasting environmental impact across the landscape.

Habitat Protection & Restoration

You Can Help Us Thrive!

Nature supports every aspect of our life – our economic, social, recreational, and cultural wellbeing. A good life, and resilient livelihoods depend on thriving native biodiversity.

We welcome you to join us in restoring native ecosystems across Banks Peninsula and strengthening the communities who live, work, and recreate here.
