We’re channeling our love for this place into something good.

Love Wānaka accelerates grassroots environmental mahi – protecting the landscapes, waterways, wildlife and wild places that define our region and keep people coming back time and time again. We hope you’ll join us.

 

An environment worth protecting
An environment worth protecting

Shaped by ancient glaciers, ever-changing weather and a delicate balance between land, water and climate, this place is more than its beauty. It’s home to landforms and ecosystems found almost nowhere else on earth, with a history that deeply connects us to those who came before.⁠
