GOOD FOR YOUR SOUL - Kaitiaki is an initiative focused on protecting the biodiversity of Hauraki Coromandel through tree planting and supporting predator control. To get involved, simply donate 12 trees a year. Want to go bigger? Donate a tree for every guest, overnight stay, or activity.
By joining, your business will directly contribute to biodiversity efforts. Each tree ($10) you donate supports the environment, with $1 from every tree going towards vital predator control initiatives. Choose a planting project that aligns with your values and strengthens the connection between your business and the region’s unique ecosystems.
This is a simple way for your business to commit to the Tiaki Promise, Tourism Sustainability Commitment, and enviro standards for organisations like Qualmark and 1% for The Planet etc.
As a business, you have the opportunity to inspire visitors to holiday sustainably and play their part in caring for this special place.
The responsibility to take care quickly becomes an infectious passion, with rising momentum that will tip the balance in favour of our voiceless native species. Only then will nature start to thrive, as locals truly appreciate what a thing of beauty this place is. And visitors will long to return, to recharge their souls.
