Facilitating appreciation and understanding of conservation through education, images are widely used in educational resources, both printed and online.

Our friendships and partnerships with the managers and staff at the Department of Conservation are what enable us to do what we do. DOC has always been, and remains, integral to our entire operation. Support, guidance, expertise and administrative advice are always on tap and form the foundation of every project we are involved in and every development we undertake.

DOC provides significant funding for some of our projects through The Biodiversity Condition Fund.

Our property at Maungataniwha is of national importance geologically as the site where palaeontologist Joan Wiffen first discovered evidence of land-dinosaur fossils in New Zealand. It continues to reveal a trove of fossilised riches. If any one place is the epicentre of New Zealand palaeontology, Maungataniwha is probably it.

We are indebted to the palaeontology team, experts and staff at GNS Science in Wellington for their ongoing support with, and remarkable insights into, the many different discoveries we refer to them on an ongoing basis. They are no longer colleagues and professional contacts, they have become friends and are now an integral part of the Maungataniwha story.
