WE’RE ATTACHED TO MORE THAN JUST ZIPLINES
New Zealand’s flora and fauna is extraordinary and vulnerable. Evolving in isolation for millions of years, our wildlife is like nowhere else on earth and forms New Zealand’s unique natural identity.
The introduction of exotic pests and loss of natural habitats have resulted in the extinction of numerous species and the rapid decline of many others. What is left is ours to protect.
Every guest that experiences the magic of Rotorua Canopy Tours contributes back to the Canopy Conservation Trust, enabling the forest to regenerate and flourish. The best part is, when you experience a Canopy Tour, you become part of the journey too.
You’ll be forever attached.
PRESERVING ROTORUA’S ANCIENT FOREST
Because we’re attached to more than just ziplines!
Did you know that by experiencing the magic of Rotorua Canopy Tours you’re also giving back to the forest?
New Zealand’s flora and fauna is extraordinary but vulnerable. After evolving in isolation for millions of years, the introduction of exotic pests led to habitat loss, wiped out some species, and left others struggling to survive.
We must protect what’s left. That’s why we established the Canopy Conservation Trust—a registered charity dedicated to helping Rotorua’s Okoheriki Forest (aka Dansey Road Scenic Reserve) regenerate and flourish.
A portion of your Rotorua Canopy Tours fee supports our conservation efforts, meaning you’re already part of the solution!
