Since its inception in 2001, the Bream Head/Te Whara Conservation Trust (BHCT) has been dedicated to restoring Bream Head Scenic Reserve, bringing life back to this unique part of Northland.

This dream is taking another important step forward with the launch of the BHCT Endowment Fund in March 2025.
