These organisations and businesses are active supporters of the Society's work. Their dedication to our work and the Tongariro National Park opens up opportunities for you to participate in our conservation and education work. We gratefully acknowledge their help and look forward to continuing the partnerships.

Department of Conservation
By enabling us to become involved in their work and providing opportunities for volunteer input and financial assistance, we are complementing each other's work and together achieve results for Tongariro National Park. Visit www.doc.govt.nz for more information or to view their online calendar of volunteer's activities throughout New Zealand.

Land Rover
Land Rover, in association with The Friends of Tongariro (Tongariro Natural History Society), has established a unique environmental protection programme that directly benefits Tongariro National Park.

The society will receive a financial contribution of the estimated cost for protecting a hectare of national park from Motorcorp Distributors Ltd, the New Zealand importer of Land Rover, each time a new Land Rover is sold through an Authorised Land Rover Centre.

Globally, Land Rover is committed to addressing the challenges of sustainable development. Through ‘Project Tongariro’, Land Rover aims to minimise its environmental footprint in New Zealand and make a positive contribution.

Wallis Dumper, Managing Director for Land Rover in New Zealand said, “Kiwis are well aware of Land Rovers ‘Go Beyond’ capabilities but as a New Zealand owned company we have been striving to support the worldwide Land Rover initiatives that see things like the Dagenham Diesel Centre being wind turbine powered. We also want Land Rover owners in New Zealand to support New Zealand’s own back yard and what better way than to support our own dual World Heritage Site!”

Land Rover has a long relationship with Tongariro having supplied vehicles from 1963 to approximately 1984 to enable the Rangers to access parts of the park in arduous 4WD conditions.

Land Rover has been producing 4WD vehicles since 1948 and is synonymous with motoring in extreme conditions. The vehicles are used world wide for exploration, by aid agencies in the third world and for search and rescue operations because of their go anywhere ability. Two thirds of all Land Rovers ever produced are still in use today, thanks to their rugged construction.
