Plant native forest that pays its way
We guide landowners, farmers and land managers through native forest projects that generate carbon, meet consent requirements and build lasting ecological value.
Structured to pay for itself
Native forest doesn't have to be a cost. Every site is different, but we know how to structure a project toward breakeven, and often into profit, using carbon income, grants and lending.
Managed end-to-end in house
Our in-house team manages the entire pathway, from site assessment and planning through planting and maintenance to carbon management, so nothing is handed off and lost between contractors.
Less risk, start to finish
With experienced specialists watching over every stage, problems get caught early and costly mistakes are designed out, so your project runs to plan and stays on track.
Who we work with
From farmers and rural advisors to Māori land trusts, councils and corporate supply chains, we deliver native forest projects that work on the ground.
Farmers & growers
Native forests fit working farms. Whether it's erosion control, freshwater compliance or carbon income, we integrate planting into your operation.
Rural advisors
You guide clients through land decisions. We deliver the native forest expertise and planting pathway to make those decisions real.
Māori land trusts
Native forests restore ecological and cultural value to your whenua. We manage assessment, planning and delivery so you realise those outcomes.
Councils & catchments
Native forests improve water quality and support freshwater plan targets. We deliver planting programmes that achieve your environmental and regulatory goals.
Developers & consent planting
Planning consent means planting obligations. We manage the whole requirement, from planting plan to delivery and sign-off, as your single point of contact.
Supply chains & industry
Help your suppliers restore native forest and work towards your climate and nature goals. We plan and deliver planting & regeneration projects across your landowner network.
What native planting actually does
Build a productive asset
Eligible native forest can earn carbon income through the NZ ETS. We help you understand the opportunity and manage the pathway from planting to earning.
Protect vulnerable slopes
Native trees stabilise erosion-prone land while creating habitat, combining slope protection with lasting ecological resilience.
Achieve freshwater standards
Native forests improve water quality and support freshwater plan targets, integrated into your farm system to meet environmental standards.
Meet your consent conditions
Native forest satisfies regulatory requirements while establishing long-term ecological value, designed to work within your consent framework.
Built on deep native forest expertise
We combine on-the-ground planting knowledge with deep carbon and funding expertise, so your forest delivers real returns, not just good intentions.
