Project Janszoon is a philanthropic trust on a mission to restore and preserve the Abel Tasman’s rich wildlife for all to enjoy.  It is a team effort involving conservationists, iwi, locals, scientists and tourism operators.  Together we’re making a difference.

We’re working with the Abel Tasman Birdsong Trust, the Department of Conservation, iwi -Ngāti Tama, Ngāti Rārua and Te Ātiawa – and the community to restore the park’s rich wildlife.  Together we’re getting rid of pests and weeds, bringing back native wildlife and bush, and inspiring a culture of care for the Abel Tasman.

Project Janszoon has a wonderful team of volunteers who do everything from dune restoration and tree planting to possum trapping and kākā monitoring.  Volunteering is a great way to give back and see a different side to the Abel Tasman.  We’re always keen for an extra pair of hands.  If you live locally and are keen to be involved get in touch.
