Welcome to the New Zealand Notable Trees Trust (NZNTT) website

The Notable Trees Trust was established 2007/2008, and arose from a national scheme established in 1977 to identify and register heritage trees.

The Notable Trees Trust is a registered charitable trust. The new trust has several initial and ongoing challenges:

  • Develop a public database of New Zealand’s notable trees
    To utilise existing records and newly submitted listings.

  • Establish a NZ national tree registrar network
    To assist the trust in locating Notable, Veteran and Champion trees nationwide.

  • Populate the database with verified data
    To ensure all information is accurate and in a consistent format.

  • Promoting NZNTT nationwide to private and public tree owners
    To ensure individuals, councils and agencies are aware/supportive.

Notable Trees Database

A primary objective of the trust is to establish and maintain a comprehensively updated database of New Zealand’s notable trees.

This online resource is currently being redeveloped – please be patient!

The NZNTT wish to thank the following for their financial support for this project:

  • Lottery Environment & Heritage fund
  • Peter Skellerup Plant Conservation Scholarship
  • Auckland Branch of the RNZIH
  • Ralph Ballinger, the vice-patron of the RNZIH, also continues with his long-standing support.

There are currently more than 400 registrations representing some 3000 trees.

We welcome new registrations and this website contains instructions for this.
