Environment Hubs Aotearoa is a Charitable Incorporated Society whose members are independent local community hubs that provide practical support for people to look after themselves, their neighbours and their environment. Each of our members has strong local connections and individual strengths. In 2015 we created a national organisation that allows us to share our vast experience with each other and better empower more New Zealanders to create a thriving and sustainable Aotearoa.
