QEII National Trust
Reimagining a better future
Recently, the team at QEII National Trust reimagined their brand and enhanced their mission — to partner with landowners to protect special places on private land for the benefit of present and future generations.


Background
Forever Protected
QEII National trust are an independent charitable trust that partners with private landowners to protect natural and cultural heritage sites on their land with covenants. A covenant is an agreement between us and a landowner to protect land forever.
The landowner continues to own and manage the protected land, and the covenant and protection stay on the land, even when the property is sold to a new owner.
Their partnerships has created a growing network of over 44,00 protected areas throughout Aotearoa, ranging from small backyard patches to huge swathes of high country. These covenants protect more than 180,000 ha of private land and play a hugely critical role as a refuge for some of New Zealand’s rarest and most endangered biodiversity and ecosystems.
