Te Tapuwae o Rakau Trust
The Te Tapuwae o Rakau Trust (The Tree Footprints Trust) was established in 2017 to develop and implement a structured approach to replanting trees on the Port Hills, repairing damage left by Canterbury’s earthquakes and the recent Port Hills fires. The essence of this trust is to foster collaboration and cooperation with the plethora of organisations and groups currently involved in the care and conservation of the Port Hills. To date, there seems to be no overall coordinated cultural or ecological plan to replant the Port Hills. It is imperative that there is a more structured approach. Te Tapuwae o Rakau Trust will assist in the coordination of the many already established organisations who are dedicated to the return of natural flora and fauna to the Port Hills.
