Guardians of the Sounds
Guardians envisage a future with an Integrated Management System involving Marlborough District Council, Residents Associations and Sounds user groups whereby residents have a greater opportunity to participate in decision – making regarding the Sounds. We see environmental issues and problems as management issues best decided upon by those directly affected. Guardians of the Sounds will remain an independent lobby group, as it has always been.

Totaras for Totaranui
The project has a long term goal of replanting native trees to the Marlborough Sounds. Our forefathers removed 1 million cubic feet of podocarps from the area and now is the right time to replant the sounds for a sustainable future. This is a practical project which will enable us to offer Enviromental Education to our younger generation by involving them in the removal of pest species and restoration of local native forests.
