Te Ara Kākāriki Greenway Canterbury is a incorporated Charitable Trust. Our initial trustees were Craig Pauling, Jason Arnold, Ian Spellerberg, Frances Schmechel and Shelley Washington. Along with Roger May, and interaction within a number of forums around ecological restoration and biodiversity in Canterbury, a group began working collectively to develop the common ideas and aspirations we had around these issues. A concept working group formed as a result, which has had involvement from a wide variety of people. The charitable trust was formed to help progress the concept and broaden funding opportunities.
Since its beginnings numerous volunteers have supported the vision of Te Ara Kākāriki. Today the Trust has 5 trustees, 3 contractors and 20 committee members.
