Buy native forest carbon offsets
Purchase NZUs from real New Zealand native forest projects. Cancelled on your behalf, with the proof, evidence and claim wording to back it up.
A carbon credit alone tells you nothing
You need to know where it came from, how it was assessed, whether it was truly cancelled, and what claim you can honestly make. That is what we provide.
You buy carbon credits linked to a real forest
When you buy native forest carbon credits from us, you are buying NZUs from a specific project in New Zealand, cancelled on your behalf and documented with full traceability back to the forest. Our certification assesses the project and packages the evidence; it does not create a new credit or change the NZU's legal status.
Six principles guide forest assessment
Additional
The forest exists because of carbon finance. Without it, this native forest wouldn't be here.
Durable and permanent
The carbon stays locked away for the long term, not released in a few years.
Real, measurable and verifiable
The carbon is genuine, mapped and measured, not an estimate or a promise.
Transparent
You can see the project, the source and the basis for every claim.
Respectful of rights
People's rights, land and cultural interests are protected.
Not double counted
Your carbon is counted once. No one else can claim it.
The evidence behind your purchase
Each credit is backed by documented assessment
Official NZU records
Your NZUs come from a forest registered in the New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme. Registration confirms verified ownership, post-1989 forest status and eligibility, checked by the Crown before any units are issued.
A specific, mapped forest
Every unit traces back to a named project with mapped boundaries. You know exactly which forest your carbon came from, not a pool or an average.
Signed landowner declaration
The landowner formally declares the project is voluntary, permanent, free of competing claims, and respectful of rights. It's their commitment, in writing, complementing the ETS record.
Proof of cancellation
When you buy, we cancel your NZUs in the official registry on your behalf. You receive the registry records showing the exact units removed from circulation, permanently.
Independent public data
We check the project against public records: council plans, hazard layers, Maori land data and heritage listings, to confirm additionality, permanence and rights against sources outside the landowner's own account.
Full chain of custody
From forest to registration to your purchase and cancellation, every step is documented. You can follow the whole path from the land to the claim you make.

Questions
The practical questions buyers ask about native forest carbon.
What am I actually buying?
NZUs from a specific native forest project in New Zealand, cancelled on your behalf. You get registry proof, a project summary, the evidence behind it, and suggested claim wording.
Can I choose which forest?
In most cases, yes, subject to availability.
Is the cancellation permanent?
Yes. Your NZUs are cancelled in the official registry and can't be reused, resold or claimed by anyone else. You receive the proof.
What can we say about it publicly?
We tell you exactly what you bought and give you suggested wording for a factual contribution claim. How that fits your wider climate goals or any broader claim is yours to decide.
How is this different from cheaper credits?
Native forest NZUs come from a real, named New Zealand forest with documented provenance and permanence. You can see exactly what you funded, rather than trusting an anonymous unit.
