NZ Landcare Trust is an independent charitable organisation first established in 1996. It is the only national, non-government organisation working with the land user community to encourage and support sustainable land management.

The organisation has flourished thanks to its practical, community based approach to sustainable land management. Head Office is based in Hamilton but the landcare message extends from Northland to Southland, thanks to a dedicated team of experienced Regional and Project Coordinators.

A key feature of NZ Landcare Trust is the way it unifies diverse interest groups, such as production, environment and recreation. This is achieved by including representatives from these groups on our Board of Trustees: Federated Farmers of New Zealand, Federated Mountain Clubs, Federation of Maori Authorities, Fish and Game New Zealand, Ecologic Foundation, Royal Forest and Bird Society and Rural Women New Zealand.
