Te Kakano ‘The Seed’
Te Kākano Aotearoa Trust is Wanaka’s not-for-profit community native plant nursery. The nursery specialises in propagating plants of local origin and these are then used to support native habitat restoration in the Upper Clutha Basin. The Trust works with local community groups, schools, organisations & businesses in an effort to promote hands-on community land care.

Roys Bay West – Habitat Restoration Te Kakano and its hard working volunteers have been busy restoration planting along the Lake Wanaka foreshore between Stoney Creek and Waterfall Creek since 2011. Three of the seven sections are now complete and two are well underway. Te Kakano is now seeking funding for plants for the last two sections; Stoney Creek wetland to western side of Stoney Creek and Sunrise Bay to Pumping Station. How can you HELP? VOLUNTEER Volunteers get to learn and be around native plants that have been eco-sourced and propagated at our community nursery. Planting days are spent amongst like-minded individuals who are passionate about habitat restoration. CONTRIBUTE As a non-profit organisation, all our projects are externally funded by sponsors, grants and donations. We welcome any support from local landowners, schools, clubs, organisations and businesses who want to get involved with a project that is already seeing considerable community benefit.
