Friends of Bullock Creek (FOBC) are thrilled to share that we’ve received Direct Group Funding supported by the Otago Catchment Community (OCC), a partnership that brings us one step closer to achieving our restoration and conservation goals.

This funding will support our ongoing efforts to protect and enhance the Bullock Creek catchment, safeguarding its freshwater ecosystems, native biodiversity, and the wellbeing of our local community. The support from OCC not only provides essential financial assistance but also reflects a shared commitment to hands-on, community-led conservation in the Wānaka area.

FOBC has long worked alongside the OCC to align local action with regional conservation priorities. This direct funding strengthens that relationship, allowing us to plan and deliver projects more effectively, and to continue fostering collaboration between volunteers, local residents, and supporting organisations.

We extend our sincere thanks to the Otago Catchment Community for their belief in our work and for helping us protect one of Wānaka’s most important natural assets.

Together, we’re making meaningful progress, for Bullock Creek, and for the future of our local environment.
