Newsletter No. 70 covers the tōtara supply-chain project in Northland, podocarp seed research, and a conference preview. Worth reading for anyone sizing a case for naturalised native species as a working commercial supply chain. Newsletter.
The Trust held its 2026 conference last week with a programme explicitly built around transition forestry, assisted natural regeneration, seed islands, and emerging restoration techniques — the exact language and methods this venture works on. Ten speakers, Q&A chaired by Dr Erik van Eyndhoven of The Nature Conservancy Aotearoa New Zealand, and a Day 2 field trip. If you work on exotic-to-native transitions in New Zealand and you didn't make it to Nelson, this is the week's single most important piece of professional-development material. Conference page.
Separate from the conference, the Trust's ongoing tōtara work is a quietly important story — a working case study of a native species operated as a supply chain, not a sanctuary. Direct relevance to anyone asking whether "native forestry" can function as a commercial category rather than only an environmental one. Project note.
