Also known as: Te Whangai Trust
An eco-preneurial social enterprise founded in 2007 by Gary Dalton (fifth-generation Miranda farmer) and his wife Adrienne Dalton (Justice of the Peace). Operates native plant nurseries at Miranda (on the Firth of Thames) and Glenbrook (south Auckland) as activity-based learning platforms for welfare recipients, former offenders, and others facing barriers to work. Plants supply wetland restoration projects across the wider Auckland-Hauraki region.

Why it’s listed
Te Whāngai is [[directory|the directory]]‘s most direct example of a substrate-builder operation that is simultaneously a knowledge-care institution. The plants get grown, the wetlands get restored, and the people growing the plants are themselves being restored — gaining work skills, mental-health support, structure, and a stake in the ecological work. RNZ has reported on the trust’s specific success with offender rehabilitation; the model is held up as a national example of how environmental and social goals can be the same goal.
