Compensate for your business’s carbon impact from operations like energy consumption, transport, or production by supporting nature regeneration through tree planting.
60% of the cost goes directly into tree planting, focusing on the core mission of regenerating native forests.
20% is allocated to biodiversity support, ensuring the long-term health and sustainability of the ecosystem.
20% represents My Native Forest’s profit, which helps fund operational activities and ensures the continuity of our organisation.

We estimate your business’s carbon footprint using standard benchmarks for energy consumption in the retail and hospitality industries. Key emission sources include electricity for lighting and heating, refrigeration systems, and air conditioning. By using recognised data on energy use, we calculate how many tonnes of CO2 your business emits annually.
Each native tree planted sequesters CO2 over its lifetime. Based on research, your funding accounts for approximately 50 kg of CO2 over 50 years. For every tonne of carbon your business emits, around 20 trees are planted to compensate for that footprint, generating the carbon credits you receive in return.

Our articles can support you in learning about climate investment, carbon management and other related topics.
Calculate how many trees your would need to fund based on your net zero target.
Calculate how much carbon your trees could return based on your funding level and time.
All carbon credits earned from your trees will be verified native forest New Zealand Units (NZUs) that are registered in the Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) under the Permanent Post 1989 (PP89) classification. If you choose to fund an entire forest project, we can provide options on voluntary carbon schemes.
We hold insurance for forest replacement, but ultimately, if in the worst case scenario the trees do not survive, you will not earn carbon credits as they will not exist. We have strict parameters when choosing partners to plant with based on the location, past planting success and the forest management plan/capabilities.
No, currently we can only work with whole units as the registry (NZETR) your carbon is held on does not account for fractional carbon units.
No, our trees are registered in the NZ ETS, this is one of the world’s most reputable and leading carbon programs. You only earn carbon credits from the trees once they are planted in our projects which happens during Winter/Spring each year.
Tree planting happens between August and October each year. When they are planted, you will be able to trace them to the project and follow them through project updates.
