Te Kākano Aotearoa Trust is a not-for-profit charitable organisation registered with the NZ Charities, #CC23553. We have our own community-based native plant nursery that specialises in propagating plants of local origin. We support native habitat restoration in the Upper Clutha Basin and we work with local community groups, schools, organisations & businesses in the effort to promote hands-on community land care.
SUPPORT US
We always need volunteers at our native plant nursery. Volunteer days teach propagation and cultivation techniques, leading on to planting/nurturing of the young plants in the wild. Current summer hours are Tue & Wed, 9am-1pm.See more >>
