Te Tauihu Environment Trust supports over 30 community-led conservation projects across the top of the South Island, New Zealand. It grew from a shared belief that communities play a vital role in caring for nature. What began as a practical response to local environmental needs has evolved into a community based collective supporting restoration efforts — connecting people, knowledge, and action to create lasting change. The Trust was established over 25 years ago, through a shared vision between the Nelson Marlborough Conservation Board, Federated Farmers, the Queen Elizabeth II National Trust, and Tasman District Council. TET has grown into a trusted partner supporting community-led restoration across Te Tauihu. Over time, our role has expanded to include project management, planning, fundraising, coordination, and practical support — helping local projects get started, grow sustainably, and achieve lasting outcomes for nature.
