Planting native trees offers many benefits for all New Zealanders. We know that it is possible to manage planted indigenous trees to improve biodiversity, protect riparian areas, enhance the landscape, store carbon and produce a range of forest products, including very high quality timber.

However there are some legal and taxation impediments to the planting of native trees for productive purposes. Research efforts have rarely been adequately funded and government policy has never been clear.

The challenge is to find the way forward in an inclusive fashion, using the best knowledge obtainable. This is what Tane's Tree Trust is about.
