Living Springs is more than a place. It is something we are building together. Set on 400 hectares above Whakaraupō, Living Springs is a place where people reconnect with nature, and where nature is being actively restored. Each year, thousands of young people, families, and community groups come here to learn, explore, and grow. For many, it is their first real connection with the outdoors. A moment that stays with them. At the same time, something bigger is taking shape. Together with our community, partners, and neighbouring landowners, we are working towards a bold vision. To create a camp within an eco-sanctuary. A place where education, conservation, and community are deeply connected. Through Predator Free Allandale, this work already extends across 1,780 hectares. Planting, trapping, monitoring, learning. Backed by science. Driven by people. This is long-term work. It takes collaboration, persistence, and belief. We believe conservation is not something that happens somewhere else. It happens here. With many hands. With shared purpose. If you care about the future of our environment, if you believe in the power of community, or if you want to be part of something meaningful, you will find your place here. Many hands make light work. He rau ringa e oti ai.
