Kauri Park

What do you do when you plant 20 million trees a year, and re-planted Rotoroa Island to make it a native sanctuary, but are still seen as a cute little Northland nursery?

You find another gear.

What was the new gear and how did we find it?

We asked: “What makes you special and why is it weird?”

Answer: “We’re environmentalists but we don’t tie ourselves to trees. We just keep on planting them.”

Then: “What are you really in the business of (and you can’t say plants)?”

Answer: “We’re in the business of clean water; we’re in the business of life.”

This is how Kauri Park, a 30-year-old, family-owned, nursery transformed into a team of ecovitalists who only have one client - Mother Nature.
