More information
Our vision is to see the majority of New Zealand landowners successfully planting and
sustainably managing indigenous trees for multiple uses by 2020. In order to realise the vision the foundational objectives of the Trust are to promote indigenous forestry as an attractive land use.
The objectives of Tane's Tree Trust include building a network of knowledge sharing amongst stakeholders; retrieval of past incomplete research projects pertaining to establishment, growth and productive use of indigenous tree species, and the establishment of new research projects. We maximise the economic incentives for establishing indigenous trees by reducing establishment costs, while resolving taxation, legal and political obstacles currently serving as disincentives to the planting of indigenous trees.
