About Us
Te Papatipu Planting Ltd
<Papa = Land> <Tipu = to grow>
<Papatipu = a place where you grew up>
Our primary focus is the restoration of New Zealand’s indigenous ecosystem.
We specialise in Taiao (environmental) Restoration, which is native revegetation & wetland planting to encourage biodiversity. We can also carry out weed control, site preparation and maintenance to ensure the best outcome for you and the whenua (land). To achieve this, we will work alongside our iwi, local Councils, land owners & consultants. Our services also extend to native landscaping and streetscape planting.
We are a tribal business that started up to provide opportunities for our people as kaitiaki (guardians) to give back to our whenua, our papatipu, to work, enhance, and restore our native forest and wetlands for a cleaner awa (river).
Our native planting restoration work will help restore the mauri (essence) of the whenua, awa and natural resources for the benefit of future generations.
As my Papa Eddie always said "if you look after the land it’ll look after you".
