Art Deco Trust to support Te Mata Park’s native regeneration

This gift will help fund the ongoing native restoration programme which will include planting approximately 1,000 additional plants next winter.

Art Deco Trust sets aside a portion of income from its vintage car tours which has historically been donated to a national conservation charity to offset the Trust’s carbon emissions. Following Cyclone Gabrielle, the Trust was keen to direct that money to local conservation efforts.

Jane Roberts, Finance and Administration Manager at Art Deco Trust, said, “We are very pleased to be able to support Te Mata Park Trust and the wonderful work they are doing. We see a synergy between our two organisations and we are eager to see our donation directly benefitting our region.”

Sarah Austin-Smith, Te Mata Park Trust’s Manager, said, “We are incredibly grateful for the generous donation from Art Deco Trust which will enable us to continue our work to protect and enhance the biodiversity of the maunga.”

We look forward to digging in alongside the Art Deco Trust team at our volunteer planting days next year.
