The Otago Regional Council is dedicated to protecting our environment.
We help individuals, schools, communities and organisations groups learn about conservation, offer funding, and share important information. Our goal is to empower everyone to make a positive difference for our environment, ensuring a better future for all.
The ECO Fund has been set up to support work that protects, enhances and promotes Otago's environment.
Funding opportunities to support communities enhance and protect Otago's environment.
Environmental education is about equipping future generations with necessary skills to address the issues facing our environment, so they make informed decisions and take responsible action for the benefit of our region.
Otago’s environment provides habitats for many native plants and animals. These habitats support the health of our ecosystems and it's important we look after them.
