Protecting the Marlborough Sounds Paradise.

Our vision is to see the enduring protection of natural character and biodiversity throughout the Marlborough Sounds.

Our mission is to collaborate with those who share our vision, so that together we can take action to protect and restore the Marlborough Sounds.

The Trust's flagship programme is the control of wilding pines throughout the Marlborough Sounds. 

“I have been greatly impressed by the work of the Trust. This is further reinforced every time I fly from Nelson to Wellington and get an aerial overview of the extent of your work. Thank you for the contribution you are making to conservation in one of the important 'tourism gateways' within New Zealand.”

–Neil Clifton, former Nelson/Marlborough Conservator, Department of Conservation

How we collaborate

By working with the community, iwi, landowners, local businesses and the Government, we are helping protect the Sounds paradise - hectare by hectare, tree by tree.
