Kirini

Te toto o te tangata he kai, te oranga o te tangata he whenua

While food provides the blood in our veins, our health is drawn from the health of the land


We design and implement long-term land use plans that are driven by nature based solutions with cutting-edge science, and mātauranga Māori.

By creating solutions that work with nature, we restore the land, support sustainable communities, and ensure future generations thrive.


how we work

looking back

Our design approach is based on respect for the whakapapa of the whenua and kōrero tuku Iho. 

We collect and record mātauranga and whakapapa of the whenua. The control of this sits with you

looking forward

We work with you to develop a vision, and then develop a Masterplan and road map that meets your dreams

making it better

 We  use  mātauranga Māori and wester science, blending Nature-based-Solutions (nbS) and traditional hard techniques to  help protect the whenua for future generations.
