Ways you can support our kaupapa
Make a financial donation
Financial contributions help us respond where the need is greatest — whether that’s supplying traps, supporting community projects, or investing in long-term ecological restoration.
Sponsor equipment or projects
Support a tangible piece of conservation work by sponsoring traps, monitoring equipment, planting days, or community-led projects. Sponsorships are a meaningful way to see your contribution in action.
Support as a business or organisation
Local businesses and organisations play a vital role in protecting our environment. We welcome partnerships, sponsorships, and in-kind support that align with our kaupapa and values.
Give your time or share your skills
If you can’t contribute financially, you can still make a difference. Volunteering your time, sharing specialist skills, or helping at events strengthens our work and our community connections.
Our commitment to you
We value transparency, accountability, and impact. All support received is used carefully and responsibly to benefit Franklin’s environment and communities, both now and for future generations.
When you support Te Ara Hīkoi, you become part of a collective effort to protect taonga species, restore habitats, and care for this land for present and future generations.
When nature thrives, we all thrive.
Te Ara Hīkoi empowers communities across Franklin to protect and restore nature through predator control, habitat restoration, pest plant management, and conservation education.
