Supporting Hawke’s Bay communities on the path to a shared, sustainable future

I te ngakau o ta tatou mahi

Everything we do starts with connection.

We’re working towards meaningful climate change response and adaptation, restoring local biodiversity, and enabling food and energy resilience across our region — all within natural economic and ecological boundaries.

By partnering with local businesses, organisations, and communities, we bring sustainable ideas to life through services, events, and education.
Got an idea or project in mind? We’d love to hear from you!
