Your native planting or regeneration can earn higher-value credits, with international certification.
Verra’s VM0047 is one of the world’s most rigorous reforestation methodologies. MyNativeForest is among the first to apply it to New Zealand native forests.
For farmers, it’s like the assurance marks you already know from dairy or sheep & beef exports — independent certification that brings a premium.
Native forests deliver more than carbon. They restore biodiversity, protect waterways, and improve soils. Buyers pay a premium for these benefits.
The global voluntary carbon market is over $1.2 billion, compared to the $0.4B NZ ETS.

At the end of the project there’s no liability to return credits if you de-register, unlike long-term ETS obligations.
We’ve secured contracts with buyers who pay a premium for high-integrity native credits.
We do the carbon accounting and monitoring so you don’t risk defaulting on obligations.
We’ve invested in the international program so landowners can join at scale, with costs shared across our portfolio.
MyNativeForest will assess your land eligibility for carbon credits. There’s no obligation to proceed with full registration.
