The Ulva Island Charitable Trust was set up in 1999 by a group of dedicated Stewart Islanders with the objective of raising money for a one-off project to upgrade walking tracks and facilities on Ulva Island for visitors to enjoy.
Inspired by this achievement, more than a decade later the Trust continues to raise funds and, in conjunction with the Department of Conservation, strives to keep Ulva Island free of introduced pests and predators where native plants and birds can thrive. Just as importantly, Ulva Island is easily accessible for visitors to enjoy a truly primeval paradise.
