Description

Waiheke Resources Trust (WRT) is a well-established sustainability-focussed Charitable Trust that has operated on the beautiful Te Motu Arai Roa | Waiheke Island in Tīkapa Moana | Hauraki Gulf since 1998.

WRT seeks to create transformational change through community collaboration and development, working to celebrate and protect the resources of the island | motu.

We work to support thriving environments and communities by engaging, educating and supporting people in environmental restoration, active transport, food resilience and waste minimisation. WRT collaborates with volunteers, interns, local business, national and regional networks, iwi, government bodies, subject experts and Waiheke whānau to build capacity and knowledge in the community toward the creation of a resource-full future for all.

WRT believes that when environments are healthy and communities are connected, people and wildlife can flourish, and within that community a strong economy can exist.
