Matukituki Charitable Trust

The Matukituki valleys are iconic valleys within Aspiring National Park. The Matikutuki Charitable Trust has been established to ensure that the valleys natural attributes are protected and enhanced. The Trust aims to restore the habitat and increase the population of all native flora and fauna, but particularly those species that make the valley special, such as kea, whio, South Island robin, rock wren, South Island kaka, South Island rifleman, braided river birds, South Island long tailed bat, several species of lizards, and scarlet mistletoe. Eventually the valley may be an appropriate site for translocations of other species.
