We are seeking funding to support restoration projects, community outreach work, advocating & operational costs

Our first restoration project, Bridge to Bridge, will restore 5km of native shoreline and will be the largest biodiversity restoration effort Cromwell has ever seen. There is much potential for our shoreline that has been neglected since it was created 30 years ago. We are looking for donations to help us supply tools, plants and resources to make this an incredible success and be the catalyst for more projects to restore and improve our environment.

The trust is also working with local groups and schools to better inform all generations on what damage is being done to our environment and how we can all help and advocate for change. By empowering people to get out and use their ideas and passion to restore the world, we have a good chance of preventing further species extinction and tackle climate change. Donation would allow us to purchase and develop resources and events to provide the highest level of education and support for people to learn and get involved.


With your help we can make all this a reality! Any donation, big or small will enable us to provide more resources to our projects and work within schools

What your money could help fund:
