Iwi and Community Groups
Much of New Zealand's original land cover and the species it
supports has been lost over time. What remains is precious and under
threat. If left to recover alone, our native species may become
dominated by invasive species. That's where revegetation comes
in. Planting carefully chosen native plants which establish quickly
helps to restart natural processes and improve biodiversity.
The job of protecting and enhancing what remains of threatened
habitats often falls to community groups and iwi. If you are part of
a group of kaitiaki looking at revegetation and restoration of your
special part of the world, then we are here to help.
The benefits of native revegetation are diverse, including:
- Improvements in water quality and aquatic communities
- Reduced competition from exotic species (both plants and animals)
- Protection of threatened native environments
- Connectivity of ecosystems - creating corridors to support native plants and animals
- Increased biodiversity and the chance to reintroduce local taonga species
- Recreational and educational opportunities for the community
- Job creation and income for local communities
As specialists in native revegetation we are here to support you,
your group and wider community to turn your restoration vision into
reality. We're here to help you with:
- Revegetation strategy and restoration plans
- Mapping
- Eco sourcing native plant species and selecting the best plants for your project
- Planting plans to maximise establishment rates
- Ongoing monitoring and maintenance including releasing native plants, weed control and pest animal control
- Project and sub-contractor management
- Funding avenues and applications for grants
