About Us

The National Wetland Trust was established in 1999 to increase the appreciation of wetlands and their values by all New Zealanders. Our first major task is to build a wetland interpretation centre for people to learn more about wetlands and experience their special qualities. For more see National Wetland Centre.

Other Trust aims are to:

  • Increase public knowledge and appreciation of wetland values 
  • Increase understanding of wetland functions and processes 
  • Ensure landowners and government agencies commit to wetland protection, enhancement and restoration
The trust has thirteen elected trustees representing, iwi, landowners, tourism and farming industries, local government authorities, Fish and Game Councils, the Department of Conservation, NGOs, Crown Research Institutes, and universities. The Trust patron is our Governor General, Dame Silvia Cartwright.
