Established by passionate peninsula landowners in 2001, Banks Peninsula Conservation Trust has grown to become one of New Zealand's most impactful conservation organisations.
We work hand-in-hand, and shoulder-to-shoulder with landowners, mana whenua, community groups, agencies, businesses and schools. We plant new native trees, we re-establish ancient podocarp forests, we protect special areas of biodiversity on private land, we remove pest animals and weeds, we re-introduce species when it’s safe to do so, and we build climate-resilience through our targeted community programmes.
We work in partnership with respect and purpose to deliver a shared vision: to ensure our precious native flora and fauna can thrive now and for the generations to come.
'Let this land tell your story – through its cacophony of bird song, its rich plant and animal life, thriving habitats, and people making a good life.’
Help us celebrate our 25th birthday with a silent auction
In October 2026, BPCT celebrates 25 years of community conservation.
As part of our celebrations, some of Banks Peninsula’s most iconic businesses and amazing artists and supporters have donated products and services for us to auction.
If you’d love to own an original artwork, treat yourself to a Banks Peninsula experience, or enjoy some of its famous food, produce or products,
then see what’s on offer below.
