  WETLAND CARE NZ
Our business is to harness community, business and government resources to restore
and develop lost wetland areas within New Zealand. Wetland Care members recognise
that wetlands are vital to the wellbeing of the environment, acting as huge ecological
sponges by soaking up pollutants and filtering water before it reaches streams, lakes,
rivers, aquifers and the sea.
         
 
WETLAND CARE - CARING FOR NEW ZEALAND WETLANDS  

 

Wetland Care's initiatives focus on matters as far-reaching as groundwater replenishment, flood control,
nutrient and contaminant management and climate change - all critical factors for the conservation of
freshwater and saltwater wetlands and marshes.

We want to preserve and conserve the flora and fauna of our most endangered ecosystem so that
vibrant wetlands are our legacy to future generations.

 
WETLAND CARE'S FUNDING  

 

Wetland Care's funding for its numerous projects comes from the Waterfowl and Wetlands Trust which
was established by Ducks Unlimited New Zealand Inc in 1991, as well as membership, donations and
corporate memberships such as that from Banrock Station Wines.

Central to Wetland Care New Zealand's mission is forming partnerships with people and organisations
with similar aims. An example is Banrock Station Wines who place the Wetland Care New Zealand logo
on their wine bottles distributed in New Zealand. In return, Banrock contribute a fee, which is based
on each bottle sold, to Wetland Care New Zealand
.

Money from this Banrock Station partnership has been given to Wetland Care to help
with wetland conservation projects, some are listed opposite.
