Environment

We live in one of the most beautiful and environmentally diverse regions of New Zealand. Our coastline is spectacular and our podocarp forests are remarkable.

But maintaining our environmental heritage for the future is not a simple process. Many groups and organisations spend countless volunteer hours carefully making sure that what we have now will be sustained and even improved for those who come after us.

Northland Community Foundation has connections with local conservation and environmental organisations. Two have set up their own endowment funds with the Foundation. Our current partners are: Mountains to Sea Conservation Trust, Puketi Forest Endowment Fund, and Bream Head Conservation Trust. Click the below links for further information:

Mountains to Sea Conservation Trust

The Northland-based Mountains to Sea Conservation Trust (CC23406) was established in 2002, as a charitable umbrella and support organisation for the Experiencing Marine Reserves (EMR) marine education and Whitebait Connection (WBC) freshwater education programmes. These are both leading models in education for sustainability in Aotearoa/New Zealand.

Puketi Forest Endowment Fund

The Puketi Forest Endowment Fund has been set up under the umbrella of the Northland Foundation, for the maintenance and restoration of Puketi Forest.
