Mission

We do not weave the web of life; we are merely a strand in it.

The earth does not belong to us, we belong to the Earth, all things are connected like the blood of one family.

All things in life share the same breath.

The wind that gave our grandmother her first breath also received her last sigh.

To foster knowledge, understanding and action in all sectors of the community to achieve positive environmental care, initially throughout the greater Canterbury district and subsequently throughout NZ.
