Action in Motion.
The Willowbank Foundation is POWERING conservation projects that care for our
native wildlife, regenerate landscapes
and reconnect communities with nature.
Our IMPACT Areas.
Native Wildlife Populations
Supporting our Native Wildlife Populations Project — our native wildlife can receive the expert care, protection and advocacy it needs to recover, thrive and return safely to the wild. Extending conservation impact beyond the gates of Willowbank Wildlife Reserve.
Landscape Regeneration
From damaged ground to flourishing ecosystems — these projects restore Christchurch's red zone and other Canterbury landscapes through native planting, habitat regeneration, and long-term care.
Access to Education
Support schools and students who face barriers to access — helping ensure every young person has the opportunity to experience hands-on conservation learning at Willowbank Wildlife Reserve.
Rescue & Rehabilitation
Supporting our Rescue & Rehabilitation Project — you’re investing in the future of wildlife care in Canterbury. Creating a dedicated space for wildlife care, strengthen breeding programmes and expand conservation impact for generations to come.
“The Willowbank Foundation provides businesses with a powerful and objective platform to support real conservation outcomes through collaboration and responsible stewardship.”
