Our Sponsorship and Partnership Programmes

The fence is built, the reintroductions are happening, the pests are taken care of - what's left to do? Maintaining a largely pest-free mountain is a huge and ongoing task and we need to raise more than $5000 per day through sponsorships and donations to maintain the security of our endangered species and their environment.

Sponsorship and Partnership Programmes are bespoke and built on finding a mutally beneficial component of our operation that reasonates with you and/or your organisation. These programmes can range in approach depending on what works for you.

We are currently actively looking for partners to connect with our Sponsor a Ranger programme. Connect any time with our General Manager to discuss how you would like to help!

What our visitors say

Thank you so much for an excellent trip yesterday. I am still buzzing from it and have been telling a lot of people about it and the new learning I got from it.

Raglan Area School

Thank you. It was an informative and engaging day. Engaging the children with what you were doing conservation wise and the guides information on the track were excellent. Excellent knowledgeable staff, friendly and plenty of them to help guide the students (and teachers) around.

Fairfield Intermediate

Really well laid out trails with good info on the flora. We were lucky enough to see quite a few of the native birds and even get some pictures.

Wow wow wow ... I am ashamed to say this was my first visit here. Our company held a 'Bush Boardroom' Strategic Planning day with Nature and Nosh's lovely Kylie hosting us. The walk in transcended any expectation I may have held. The forestry was close to prehistoric and is...

If you want to see New Zealand's nocturnal animals, go here. Of course, there are day tours as well as night tours. I went on a night tour and it was great. I was happy to see glow worms, go up to the observatory, and see many stars in the night sky! This is not a zoo, but a conservation...

Education Programme Review: Great pre trip organisation and support. Excellent team of engaging educators and such an amazing resource! A really great field trip that was as close to real world biology as I have done in the high school setting.

I've hiked many, many forests around New Zealand, but this one hits differently. You just know you're in as native of an NZ forest as it can get, thanks to the predator-proof fence that takes a lot of work and money to maintain. The forest is alive with the beautiful songs of many...

Thank you so much for putting in tremendous effort to reserve this beautiful forest and native animals! As a tourist, I had the most wonderful memory with our guide - Kate. She has taught us so much!
