ABOUT US
At Rotorua Trails Trust, we are passionate about creating and maintaining world-class trails that connect people with nature and adventure. Based in Whakarewarewa Forest, Rotorua, we are dedicated to enhancing the outdoor experience for locals and visitors alike.
​
Our Mission.
Our mission is to develop, maintain, and advocate for sustainable trails that promote active lifestyles, community engagement, and environmental stewardship. By fostering a shared sense of responsibility for our trails, we aim to ensure their longevity and enjoyment for generations to come.
​
What We Do
Trail Building and Maintenance: Our team of professionals work alongside volunteers tirelessly to construct new trails and keep existing ones in top condition, catering to a range of activities including mountain biking, horse riding, walking, hiking, and running.
Community Collaboration: We partner with volunteers, local businesses, iwi, and government organizations to create a thriving trail network that reflects the spirit and needs of the Rotorua community.
Advocacy and Education: We champion the importance of sustainable trail use and provide resources to educate users about best practices to preserve our environment.
Events and Engagement: From races to trail-cleanup days, we host and support events that bring people together to celebrate and care for our trails.
Why It Matters
Rotorua’s trails are more than paths through the forest—they are vital spaces for recreation, relaxation, and connection. They contribute to the physical and mental well-being of our community and serve as a major draw for visitors, bolstering the local economy.
