PROJECT CRIMSON

It seems hard to believe now, but in 1990 the future of pōhutukawa was uncertain. Project Crimson was established to protect and restore these beloved trees to New Zealand's forests and coastlines... Project Crimson Trust is a trusted environmental charity making a difference through large-scale native tree restoration projects around Aotearoa. Initially focused on the protection and renewal of pōhutukawa and rātā, our work expanded in 2016 to include all native tree species through our programme, Trees That Count. With support from our fantastic partners and the help of thousands of New Zealanders around the country, we're making it easy for Kiwis to connect with nature and make a difference for the future... Project Crimson has played a major role in turning around the health of the metrosideros species, but our beloved pōhutukawa and northern and southern rātā remain under threat today from myrtle rust and the ongoing impact from possums. Work also remains to be done to restore..
