What We're Doing
Watch Conservation in Action
Our Projects
Kārearea Project
Cardrona and Treble Cone are leading the charge to protect New Zealand’s native kārearea falcon, working with Parker Conservation to gather data and tackle predators, habitat loss, and human impact.
Plant a Seed
We’re restoring the lifeforce of the maunga with our Plant a Seed Project, regenerating native plants and habitats while reducing our carbon footprint.
Ride Tamariki
We believe every local child should have the chance to ski, so we partner with schools and community groups to offer snow experiences for kids and families in need, thanks to our dedicated volunteers.
Predator Free Maunga
We’re committed to protecting Aotearoa’s native wildlife by removing predators to boost biodiversity on the maunga—join us at Treble Cone and Cardrona in supporting Predator Free 2050.
All In
We’re making the maunga a safe, supportive, and inclusive space for everyone by advocating for all communities, forming partnerships, and hosting specialised events and programmes.
Re:Action Uniform Repurpose Project
Fast fashion is a huge problem, so we’re teaming up with Wānaka Wastebusters to rebrand and sell new and preloved uniforms, keeping clothes out of landfill and cutting carbon emissions.
