Community Matching Fund Helps Local Environmental Efforts

The Environmental Fund component of the Community Matching Fund has successfully supported numerous environmental initiatives across the Western Bay.

Projects include predator control and biodiversity enhancement efforts led by local trusts, such as the Ōtanewainuku Kiwi Trust. These initiatives provide essential support for community-led conservation efforts and promote sustainable practices in the region.

By fostering collaboration and volunteer contributions, the fund has had a tangible impact on local ecosystems.
