to restore native forestry
A company working with Māori landowners is using forestry as a way to create cash flow for farmers and help restore forests of native trees.
Tāmata Hauhā works with Māori landowners all over New Zealand to plant trees on marginal country that is too steep or erosion prone for farming.
It offers advice and pays for everything, including clearing land, pest control and seedlings, then shares the carbon net profit 50-50.
The organisation held an opening for its new premises in Marton, Rangitīkei on Tuesday, one year since it began operating.
