Introducing: NZ Tree Project

In a previous post, I threw the idea of photographing an entire NZ native tree out into the online world. My dream is to produce something similar to the Nat Geo portraits of 2009 & 2012 right here in Aotearoa, New Zealand:

Well, the idea took off and now I'd like to introduce you to the New Zealand Tree Project. A small team of scientists, photographers/videographers and tree climbers will be setting out in March 2015 to capture a large native tree through digital and print media. You can find out a lot more on our website.

We are currently hunting for the perfect subject tree so please let us know if you have suggestions... preferably a big beauty in the North Island with a fairly clear view from at least one side for the camera rigging.

We are also currently on the hunt for sponsors and supporters so please let us know if you have any fundraising ideas or would like to make a contribution. A few avenues that we are going to target are judged on social media popularity so if you think this project is a good idea please "like" it on facebook. 

As always, your support is greatly appreciated!

Very jealous of this project - I wish I was bank in NZ for it. I can't wait to see your updates.

I presume you have contacted NZ Geographic (rhetorical).

Another probable supporter is the NZ Tourism Authority.

    I work with NZ's native vascular epiphytes at the University of Waikato. I completed an MSc on epiphyte ecology and the shrub epiphyte Griselinia lucida and have recently published the Field Guide to NZ's Epiphytes, Vines & Mistletoes. 


    For me, the highlights of epiphyte research are the many unknowns, the amazing way that these plants survive in the canopy, and of course tree climbing!
