Our mission

Let’s increase Canterbury’s biodiversity

Te Ara Kākāriki Greenway Canterbury Trust is a charitable trust with the goal of increasing biodiversity in Waitaha Canterbury, New Zealand Aotearoa.

Our mission is to create a ‘greenway’ – a corridor of native biodiversity Greendots between the Waimakiriri and Rakaia rivers, linking the mountains to the sea, Te Waihora Lake Ellesmere and Te Pātaka o Rākaihautū Banks Peninsula.

Having Greendot plantings spread across the region will increase biodiversity and the area and variety of habitat available for indigenous wildlife.

Establishing successful Greendots

Meet our team

Today, Te Ara Kākāriki consists of eight volunteer trustees who meet every six weeks to make decisions, with recommendations from the contractors. Each of the trustees also work with contractors on specific areas, such as Greendot planning, plantout days, funding applications, media and information, and Kids Discovery Plantout field day planning. Our contractors include coordinators and ecologists.
