Fund native forest, watch it grow
Put real native trees in the ground across New Zealand, and get the story back: photos, progress, and a place you helped bring back to life.
Real trees, real places, real difference
Your funding goes into native forest projects on real New Zealand land, degraded and marginal country being brought back to native bush. Not a token gesture or a logo on a website, but actual trees in actual ground, that you can follow as they grow.
What your funding does
Every contribution puts native trees in the ground and helps a piece of New Zealand come back to life.
Native trees planted
Your funding puts native seedlings into the ground on real restoration projects.
Habitat restored
As the forest grows, native birds, insects and lizards get the home they need to return.
Cleaner water and land
Native forest stabilises soil, filters waterways and brings degraded land back to health.
Looked after long-term
These aren't plant-and-leave projects. The forest is monitored and cared for as it establishes.
Reasons businesses fund native forest
When something's worth marking, native forest turns the moment into something real your team and customers can see.
A company milestone
An anniversary, a big contract, a target hit. Turn a moment worth celebrating into native forest that outlasts the announcement.
A launch or new range
Tie a product or service to real trees in the ground, and give customers a reason to choose it and a story worth sharing.
A campaign or promotion
Back a marketing push with something genuine. Native forest gives a campaign real substance instead of a vague green claim.
A conference or event
Fund native forest around a conference, launch or gathering, and tell attendees exactly what it helped bring back.
Clients, staff and partners
Recognise the people behind your year with native forest planted in their honour. A thank-you that keeps growing.
Proof for your brand
Show customers and staff you back it up with action, with photos, updates and real forest you can point to.

Common questions
A few things people ask before they start funding native forest.
Photos from the ground, progress updates as the forest grows, a map of where your trees are, and a certificate with your tree count. For businesses, we also provide material you can share on your website, socials and with your team.
Planting happens between August and October each year. Once your trees are in the ground, you can trace them to the project and follow them through updates as the forest grows.
Either works. Some funders give once to mark a moment, others give regularly to build something over time. You choose what suits you, and you can change or stop a regular plan whenever you need.
No. Funding native forest here is about restoring native habitat and landscape, not carbon credits or offsetting. It's a direct contribution to real trees in real places. If you're specifically after carbon, talk to us and we'll point you the right way.
Most of it goes straight into the ground: 60% funds tree planting, 20% covers looking after the forest over the long term, and 20% keeps MyNativeForest running so we can keep doing this work. Every dollar is tied to a real project.
