Glenfalloch was the first property acquired by the Otago Peninsula Trust, which now also operates the Taiaroa Head visitor centre. The trust is involved in a range of restoration and conservation projects, yet it is not the only organisation that exists to protect the peninsula and its environment. At the more vociferous end of the green spectrum is Save the Otago Peninsula (STOP), which was set up at the time of the Aramoana aluminium-smelter proposal, one of its founders, Heindrich Koch, told me.
