Time to talk Take Action on Climate Change

TreeTime’s mission is two pronged: reducing atmospheric carbon levels to prevent further acceleration in global temperatures, and promoting and restoring the flora and fauna unique to New Zealand.

Carbon Emissions

Atmospheric Carbon has skyrocketed to 420 parts per million. Increased CO2 leads to higher global temperatures and extreme weather events. Tree planting is one of the most efficient methods of capturing carbon...

Global Deforestation

NZ's Cover of native forest has dropped from 80% to 25% in the last 700 years. Over 75 animal and plant species have become extinct since humans arrived in New Zealand...

NATIVE TREES FORCarbon Capture

New Zealand is home to a wide array of endemic canopy tree species that sequester large quantities of carbon.

'Interplanting native shrubs alongside our native canopy trees provides many extra benefits to the ecology of the site.

Climate Change Commission's Advice

Protecting the future

The commission would see a significant increase in new native forests established on less productive land. The Ministry for Primary Industries forecasts that there will be around 12,000 hectares of new native forests established in 2021. Our path would see this ramp up to 25,000 hectares per year from 2030.

Making the best use of land

Estimates from recent studies suggest there is on the order of 1,150,000 to 1,400,000 hectares of marginal land that could be planted in forestry. As much of this land is steep and prone to erosion, the commission considers that it would be more suitable for permanent forests, particularly native forests.
