The Hauraki Gulf Conservation Trust (HGCT)
is proud to govern the Waiheke Walking Festival.
Our vision is for the Hauraki Gulf to be abundant with wildlife, supporting
diverse and functioning forests and wetlands, healthy soils, clean water and
fresh air. A place where caring communities take effective action to protect,
restore and enhance its natural beauty, balance and well-being.
The mission of the Waiheke Walking Festival is to highlight and encourage
active community participation in conservation by providing opportunities to:
1) learn about and experience conservation and the environment and
2) extend and strengthen effective networks for doing so.
We welcome you to Waiheke and the Waiheke Walking Festival and wish
you a fantastic nine days of walking and conservation adventures on this
beautiful island.
