Welcome to Tane Native Forest Restoration Incubator at the Top of The South … Where Great Ideas Grow!
At Tane, we’re reimagining native reforestation. Just because it’s always been done that way, does not mean that it’s the best way!
Our journey began with a challenge: Planting 20 hectares of native trees on our own farm. Faced with prohibitive costs and inefficient traditional methods, we knew there had to be a better way.
We’ve dedicated ourselves to developing The Tane System – a groundbreaking approach to native reforestation that’s both innovative and cost-effective. As an innovator, we’re constantly exploring, experimenting, and pushing boundaries to make large-scale native planting accessible and achievable.
Our mission is simple: To create practical, efficient solutions for restoring our native forests. We blend hands-on experience with forward-thinking ideas, always striving to enable nature.
Join us in this exciting venture. Whether you’re a landowner, conservationist, or simply passionate about our natural heritage, there’s a place for you in the Tane community. Together, we’re planting the seeds of change for a greener, more sustainable future.

Something BIG is Stirring
There’s a rustling in the autumn leaves. It has started, seeds are germinating, roots reaching out, the first young shoots are stretching skywards.
Good people are coming together.
Yes! We broke it.
Yes! We are all responsible and now the time has come to put it right.
The collective will is there but more importantly, exponentially more importantly, we’re doing something about it.
If Covid has shown us one thing it is that ‘success’ manifested into glass and concrete is neither sustainable or even important.
Our visions align, our joy is found in the simple things. Fulfillment, tangible, soul-warming joy is found when the seas bloom, the forests return, the birds sing and the animals roam.
