Invest in nature regeneration
We are seeking investment for the following projects. Funds help support the costs of native plants, materials and labour. Your business can help!
With around 4,000 species at risk in Aotearoa New Zealand, this country has one of the highest proportions of threatened indigenous species anywhere in the world.
Regenerating nature is vital if we are to tackle climate change and species extinction, as well as secure a positive future for all of us. Intact ecosystems are among the most powerful and effective ways to safely absorb greenhouse gas emissions. They are a fundamental source of health and well-being for our people.
The purpose of our Regenerating Nature programme is to connect and resource people to accelerate nature regeneration across Aotearoa New Zealand.

Million Metres Streams
We're restoring the nation's rivers, streams, lakes and wetlands with native plants and trees. Our vision is for a future in which Aotearoa’s waterways are restored as vital havens for wildlife. Where it is once again normal to swim in them and drink from them.
Protecting and restoring Tīkapa Moana/the Hauraki Gulf

Resources for businesses, farmers and land owners
All New Zealanders have a role they can play to help regenerate our natural systems. Restoring nature on farms and in urban areas has a multitude of benefits. It can improve the health of waterways, keep soil and pollutants out of streams, sequester carbon, improve health and well being, create jobs and bring communities together.
