Invest in Native Forest
Take a position in native forest carbon by owning the source. Hold the asset, the supply and the optionality, backed by real New Zealand land and forest. We handle the complexity.
Own the source of the carbon
Owning a native forest means holding the source of the carbon, a real, permanent asset backed by New Zealand land and forest, with your own supply of units and the optionality that comes with it. It's designed for wholesale investors taking a long-term position, and the returns depend on the forest, the market and the structure you choose, and are never guaranteed.
What your ownership delivers
Native forest ownership works on more than one level.
Carbon and commercial value
Your own supply of native forest units, with the option to hold, use or sell as the market moves.
Environmental value
Real native forest returning on real land, with the biodiversity and freshwater gains that come with it.
Legacy value
A permanent asset that outlasts you, held for the long term and passed on.
Two ways to own it
Own the land and the forest, or secure the forest and its carbon without the land. We'll help you choose.
Buy the land and the forest
You own the land, the native forest on it, and the units it generates. The fullest form of ownership, and the largest commitment.
Secure the forest, not the land
You hold the forest and its carbon interests through a forestry right, without buying the land underneath. A lower-capital way into the same asset class.
How we work together
From first conversation to a forest you own, we guide the whole way and handle the technical load.
Understand your goals
We start with what you want from ownership: carbon, horizon, capital, involvement and legacy.
Find and assess the opportunity
We source suitable land or forest and assess eligibility, carbon potential and risks.
Structure the ownership
We help you choose freehold or forestry right and set up the right legal structure, with your own advisers.
Deliver and manage
We plan, plant or transition the forest, handle ETS and management, and support you for the long term.
You don't have to be a forestry or carbon expert
Owning a native forest is complex. We carry that complexity so you can hold the asset with confidence.
FAQs
Common questions from wholesale investors about owning native forest.
Two main routes. Freehold means you buy the land and the native forest on it. A forestry right means you secure the forest and its carbon interests without owning the land underneath. We help you weigh which fits your capital and goals.
Native forest investment suits wholesale investors taking a long-term position, those who want exposure to native forest carbon as an asset and can commit capital over decades, not a short horizon. We're happy to talk through whether it fits.
Yes. Ownership can be held through a company, trust, partnership or bespoke structure. The right vehicle depends on your circumstances, so you should take your own legal and tax advice, and we'll work alongside your advisers.
Native forest is a long-term asset exposed to real risks: carbon prices and ETS settings can change, forests face fire, disease and storm damage, and returns are never guaranteed. Capital is at risk and may not be recovered. We document the risks for each opportunity so you can assess them with your advisers.
Value can come from the native forest units the project generates, which you may hold, use or sell, and from the underlying land and forest asset over time. Outcomes depend on the forest, ETS settings and market conditions, and are never guaranteed.
