Kauri 2000 2.63

How it Works

Every donation helps us plant and care for more kauri.

We work with the Department of Conservation, LTNZ, the Thames-Coromandel and Hauraki District Councils and others to identify and establish special Kauri 2000 planting sites around the Peninsula.


The Kauri 2000 Trust buys the seedlings and prepares the land for planting.
Then, every winter, our volunteers carefully plant the 600mm-high trees, creating the forests of tomorrow.


We record the location of all planting sites and trees in the Kauri 2000 database, and every donor receives a certificate identifying where the kauri bought with that donation are planted.


We then monitor and maintain all planting sites for at least five years until the trees are established.

Who Can Take Part?

Everyone! Families, individuals, whanau, friends, visitors from New Zealand or overseas, communities, business and schools. All you need to do is make your donation… we'll do the rest. Plant kauri every year - for each of your children, to remember a special person, to remember a special holiday or anniversary. You can support Kauri 2000 wherever you live.
