Some friends and myself have been able to help out on a project lately lead by a generous protector of the forest around where Tane Mahuta lives.
The project is called the Kauri millennium forest project.

Our aim was to collect genetically strong Kauri seed the older specimen trees for propagation, this is the easy part. The amount of time it takes to propagate, raise and establish these trees is an absolute credit to Stephen King and the Waipoua Forest Trust / Te Iwi O Te Roroa people.
