The Glenfern Sanctuary Charitable trust are custodians of a small haven of native bush on Great Barrier Island - an area dedicated to restoration, education and "redressing the balance"

About Us

The Glenfern Team are responsible for not only "Glenfern Sanctuary" but the biodiversity management of the entire Kotuku Peninsula.

This unique area is administered by the Glenfern Sanctuary Charitable Trust, consisting of landownwers and passionate individuals with specific skill sets. See our listing on the charities register here.

We have few full time staff but employ the use of many skilled and passionate Great Barrier Island locals for specific tasks.

We usually have at least a couple of greatly appreciated volunteers living on site. If you're interested in volunteering we'd love to hear from you. Contact Emma at info@glenfern.org.nz
