Today the O Tātou Ngāhere ‒ Our Forest campaign launch has been marked with the premiere of an inspirational documentary set on Cassie’s Farm in the Waikato featuring many of the trustees of Tāne’s Tree Trust.
View the documentary here now.
Produced in partnership with Pure Advantage, the campaign is aimed to ensure more native forests are integrated into our whenua for the benefit of all.
