Urban Arborists’ 'Take a Tree, Give a Tree' initiative ensures that for every tree they remove, they fund the planting of a native tree in its place.
At My Native Forest, we are delighted to welcome Urban Arborists as a partner in our mission to restore New Zealand’s native forests. Urban Arborists’ 'Take a Tree, Give a Tree' initiative ensures that for every tree they remove, they fund the planting of a native tree in its place. This proactive approach acknowledges their environmental footprint and contributes directly to the regeneration of Aotearoa’s unique biodiversity.
For Urban Arborists, supporting native forest restoration is about taking responsibility and giving back to the land.
“Supporting native forest restoration is at the core of our values,” says the Urban Arborists team. “As a company deeply involved in tree care, we understand the vital role that trees play in New Zealand's biodiversity and climate. Through our 'Take a Tree, Give a Tree' initiative with My Native Forest, we aim to mitigate the environmental impact of necessary tree removals by ensuring that a native tree is planted in its place.”
This initiative goes beyond tree replacement—it’s about contributing to the long-term restoration of ecosystems that support native birds, insects, and plants, creating a greener and healthier future for all.
Urban Arborists recognise that many of the trees they remove are non-native species, and their work with My Native Forest ensures that each removal becomes an opportunity to rebuild native ecosystems.
“Our partnership allows us to create positive environmental impacts beyond the immediate scope of our work,” explains the team. “Every tree removal becomes a step towards forest restoration. It’s not just about trees—it’s about restoring balance and biodiversity to the environment.”
This collaboration also gives Urban Arborists a chance to reinforce their leadership within the Auckland arboricultural industry, showing their clients and community that they’re committed to making a tangible difference for future generations.
What excites Urban Arborists most about partnering with My Native Forest is the scale of impact they can achieve together.
“We’re contributing to the restoration of biodiversity across New Zealand,” they share. “It’s rewarding to know that we’re helping rebuild ecosystems on land that was previously used for logging or farming. We’ve already funded 240 trees and cannot wait to visit Purau Woodland to see our impact in the flesh.”
By participating in the regeneration of native forests, Urban Arborists are actively supporting the revival of Aotearoa’s natural heritage.
Urban Arborists’ commitment to biodiversity restoration perfectly complements the mission of My Native Forest. Their efforts demonstrate what’s possible when businesses take meaningful action to support nature on a large scale by building it into their business model.
“This partnership gives us a chance to educate our clients and the wider public about the importance of native trees and forest preservation,” adds Urban Arborists. “It’s about being part of something bigger than ourselves and contributing to the long-term health of New Zealand’s environment.”
