Tāne’s Tree Trust

Tāne’s Tree Trust is a not-for-profit charitable trust that promotes the planting, management and sustainable use of native trees for all the values that these forests provide. We believe that New Zealand needs to better value these forests and be encouraged to plant more and actively manage them. Indigenous forests of Aotearoa are unique biological and environmental treasures. They are also cultural taonga, part of our cultural heritages, and our identities as New Zealanders. Native forests provide multiple values and have a vital role for our continued existence and well-being. We believe that kaitiakitanga in relation to native forest, involves an active and meaningful relationship between people and the forest.
