Lincoln Envirotown Trust

Taking responsibility for a sustainable future

Lincoln Envirotown Trust is a community-based trust aimed at making Lincoln a true Envirotown.

"Sustainability is meeting the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs."

This means working together as a community to protect our environment and natural resources so that our children and grand-children can enjoy them as we did.

We work with the community, for the community, in partnership with Selwyn District Council, Lincoln University, Landcare Research, Waihora Ellesmere Trust, Enviroment Canterbury, HortResearch, local schools, businesses and other organizations to find solutions to projected growth and associated environmental issues.

You are welcome to Lincoln Envirotown Committee meetings each 2nd Tuesday of the month, 7:30pm at the Lincoln Community Centre supper room.

If you have any ideas to help us make Lincoln more environmentally sustainable or you live in another community and would like our help, please contact us.
