Conservation
The future of our planet begins with the land beneath our feet. Every journey through The Hillocks helps restore native ecosystems, regenerate the landscapes of Aotearoa and protect the wild places that inspire us to imagine what comes next.

Restoring Aotearoa, One Tree at a Time
The Environmental Trust funds large-scale reforestation across The Hillocks site, the broader Glenorchy region, and beyond.
At full operational capacity, we plant more than 100,000 native trees per year — in partnership with iwi-owned conservation organisations deeply rooted in this land.
Every ticket helps plant a tree. Every year, over 100,000 trees.
Tree Planting Program
Every ticket purchased helps fund the planting of a native tree within the Glenorchy Hillocks, the community and the wider region. This isn't just about offsetting carbon—it's about rebuilding the Beech forests and Tussock grasslands that local species depend on.
We are building a bridge between digital exploration and physical restoration. Your visit directly funds the soil of tomorrow.
