Conservation Volunteers New Zealand

Conservation Volunteers New Zealand (CVNZ) is a registered charitable trust restoring Aotearoa's native ecosystems through large-scale planting, catchment protection, pest control, and community engagement. With offices in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, and the West Coast, CVNZ partners with brands ready to drive lasting environmental impact and engage their people in meaningful, hands-on mahi.

About the partnership

Since 2006, CVNZ has brought thousands of New Zealanders together to restore our wild places — working alongside communities, mana whenua, councils, and landowners on projects that protect threatened species, regenerate native forest, and strengthen the link between people and place.

Partners don't just fund a project. They help build a legacy of resilient ecosystems and engaged communities that endures for generations. Most projects can flex to match your investment level, team size, and preferred region.
