Partnering for Nature: Nature Connect

Through Priority One's Partnering for Nature events, we’ve connected with a host of local businesses who want to learn more about supporting local projects and investing in a healthy whenua. 

Next in our series is Nature Connect, when we will learn about our region’s nature projects and what they require from business to flourish. This is your chance to identify projects that align with your business brand and values, inspire your staff, and help you develop meaningful partnerships with shared benefits.   

Bay Conservation Alliance CE, Michelle Elborn, will speak about community conservation across the Bay of Plenty, the 35 volunteer groups BCA currently supports, what the projects are achieving collectively and what help they are seeking from business. 

Louise Saunders, Manaaki Kaimai Mamaku Trust CE, will present the value of Kaimai Mamaku ecosystem services, the eight iwi and hapū-led conservation projects the Trust supports, and the scale of investment needed.  

The community group Project Parore, an environmental charity who are restoring freshwater quality, habitats and biodiversity in the northern Tauranga Harbour, will also present, along with an iwi-led team (details to come soon), both showcasing their respective projects, the positive social and environmental impacts they’re achieving,  and the benefits of investing.  

Don’t miss this opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of impactful projects and how you can be involved.
