About Te Kākano
Te Kākano Aotearoa Trust is a Wānaka non-profit organisation that eco-sources seeds from the Upper Clutha area, raises seedlings in our extensive nursery, and facilitates community-based native planting and habitat restoration.
We inspire community native habitat restoration, through propagation, education and hands-on participation.
Collaboration with local community groups, schools, businesses and individuals is central to our promotion of hands-on community land care.
