NZ Native Forests Restoration Trust

Logo of the Trust.

Founded in 1980, the NZ Native Forests Restoration Trust is an organisation involved in forest restoration.

The Trust has acquired land at the rate of 250 ha per year to protect important species, restore their habitats and to improve the quality of waterways. It now has 24 reserves throughout the North Island and one in the South Island with a total of nearly 6,000 ha of protected native forests.

Sir Edmund Hillary was the foundation patron of the trust until his death in 2008. Sir Paul Reeves then became patron until his death in 2011.[1]

The Trust publishes the Canopy newsletter two or three times per year.
