Projects

Tāne’s Tree Trust have a wide range of projects aimed at addressing its objectives to promote indigenous forestry as a viable and practical land use that complements and even enhances existing landuses within our productive landscapes. Many of these projects have been completed with practical guidelines and other outputs produced.

The Trust is active in seeking funding for new projects and has a number of projects currently underway targeting priority areas of research and technology transfer. A brief outline of projects currently underway and a range of projects that have been completed over the last decade is provided.
