One Billion Trees Programme (Te Uru Rākau)

Formerly: direct landowner grants and partnership funding to plant a billion trees across New Zealand by 2028
The One Billion Trees Programme was the New Zealand Government's 2018-2028 tree-planting drive run by Te Uru Rākau within MPI, with a fund offering direct grants to landowners and partnership grants. The fund is no longer taking new applications. MPI's current forestry funding guidance (Canopy) now points landowners to the Hill Country Erosion Programme (via regional councils), Ngā Whenua Rāhui (Māori land, via DOC), Māori agribusiness funding, council land-management teams and Trees That Count.
Who qualifies
Not applicable to new applicants; the fund is closed.
How to apply
No new applications. For current help with planting costs see MPI's Canopy page 'Get help with costs' and your regional council's land management team.
