Okarito Community Native Plants Trust

The Okarito Native Plant Trust is a thriving and innovative community-driven initiative based out of Okarito, New Zealand with a focus on conservation and restoration efforts in South Westland. The trust is responsible for overseeing the strategic direction and intent of the Okarito Plant Project along with the management of the Okarito Native Plant Nursery. This includes propagating native plants, engaging community volunteers, and raising awareness about wetland conservation. In 2022 the organisation restructured forming two clear divisions as a fresh approach to generating resources and implementing the work that is required to achieve the trust's mission - The Okarito Plant Nursery and the Okarito Plant Project.
