ABOUT THIS PROJECT

The plan is to grow a very high density of native trees, shrubs and grasses indigenous to Aotearoa New Zealand. Planting NZ natives directly into a grassy paddock.

The majority of the plants (±5000) have been planted in the winter of 2023. Directly into the grass, with only a sleeve and/or sheep wool as mulch. High density planting of New Zealand natives for maximum impact and quick results. Plant-and-forget style.

A BIG THANK YOU To everyone at Koru Native Wildlife Centre!

Elements of Resilience is based in Aotearoa New Zealand (Te Tauihu; Top of the South Island).

We focus on growing food, permaculture principles, food forests, nursery work (New Zealand natives, edible and medicinal plants) and DIY projects. All with a strong emphasis on New Zealand-specific circumstances.

Oh, and don’t forget: sharing all the mistakes and fails we make whilst working towards a wee bit more resilience in our lives.
