Formed in 2018, we're an incorporated society taking a long-term view to care for our environment, our people and our communities. 

We’re helping farmers understand their environmental impact and get ahead of anticipated regulatory change by pooling their resources. We aim to build knowledge and understanding, source funding, and work alongside farmers to promote sustainable farming practices.

Our catchment areas cover over 200,000 hectares and an estimated 5,000km of rivers and streams. Our geographical boundary extends from the Mokau River in the south, to the Kawhia Harbour in the north and across to Maniaiti /Benneydale and Rangitoto in the east. 

Our key focuses:

  • fostering kaitiakitanga
  • farmer engagement
  • building community engagement
  • inspiring, enabling, and support behaviour change
  • providing opportunities for King Country farmers to lead by example
  • facilitate and support community resilience building programmes 

Caring for our environment, our people and our communities
