Restoring native ecosystems in South Wairarapa

By 2045, the Trust aims to have restored the Aorangi Forest and its surrounds to the state where the indigenous forest, coastal, and marine ecosystems are healthy, and its streams, rivers, and wetlands are clean and abundantly inhabited, and provide ecosystem services that benefit the rural and urban economies of South Wairarapa and offer places for recreation for the wider Wellington region.
