Openspace New Zealand - Nga Kairauhi Papa
Helping landowners protect New Zealand’s special open spaces
QEII National Trust helps private landowners in New Zealand protect significant natural and cultural features on their land through open space covenants.
Open space covenants help safeguard forever special features such as landscapes, forest remnants, wetlands, lakes, threatened species habitats, geological features and cultural heritage sites.
