Our Trustees
The Project is a registered charitable trust (Aongatete Forest Restoration Trust), operating in partnership with Forest & Bird (Tauranga branch). We have several key stakeholders, including the Department of Conservation, and activities are overseen by a board of trustees. In late 2017, thanks to the generous support of TECT and the BOP Regional Council, we secured funding to enable the employment of a part-time Operations Manager.
Project Principles:
- We act ethically
- We work for the betterment of our local community and the wider conservation movement
- We value and support our volunteers
- We communicate openly and honestly
- Our reputation is important to us
