High above the eastern coastline of Aotearoa (New Zealand) and cloaked in the korowai of our taiao, lies the largest native forest from mountain to sea in the North Island, that’s Raukūmara Pae Maunga.

This is no ordinary forest - here stands a living tupuna (ancestor), a source of our mauri and the heartbeat of past, present and future generations. 

Linked shoulder to shoulder, tangata whenua (people of the land) from Ngāti Porou and Te Whānau-ā-Apanui are united conducting large-scale pest control, forest regeneration, deep community engagement and species protection.

​

Join our mission as we breathe life back into our ngahere (forest), empower our people

and carry the legacy of Raukūmara Pae Maunga into the future.
