The Mount Hiwi Charitable Trust was formed to allow access to and preserve indigenous virgin forests and ecosystems in perpetuity. The Trust has been formed to foster initiatives that minimise negative impacts on regenerating ecosystems, and the use of toxic free technologies for flora and fauna pest control. We provide facilities for research, education and community involvement in the preservation and regeneration of indigenous New Zealand ecosystems, and establish and maintain a native wildlife sanctuary on the Mount Hiwi Property.
