Welcome to Our Mission
Our mission is simple: regenerate the land through tree planting and ecosystem restoration.
We are all about - on the land, hands in the dirt, tangible change that you can literally see with your own eyes...and even come and visit in person!
We want to share this journey by giving you the chance to nurture new growth and contribute to meaningful environmental change, a global community of people who said 'yes' to doing something REAL.
Our family has already planted over 20,000 trees, and we’re just getting started.
Join us today to plant your legacy alongside ours!

About Us
We are the Harris whānau—kaitiaki (guardians), dreamers, builders, and earth-lovers—living in harmony with nature and raising our tamariki (children) to cherish the whenua (land).
My Tree Legacy weaves our family's passion for sustainability with Khemeia Valley, the physical embodiment of our values: regeneration, reciprocity, and a deep connection to the natural world. Through tree-planting and community initiatives, we are creating lasting legacies that honor both people and place. To learn more about our journey, visit our Khemeia Valley website.
Our Ongoing Projects
Growing Beyond Trees
At My Tree Legacy, our mission extends far beyond planting trees. While reforestation is at the heart of what we do, we are equally committed to fostering thriving ecosystems through comprehensive land regeneration, pest and weed management, and broader conservation efforts. By prioritizing biodiversity, we aim to create sustainable, resilient landscapes that benefit both nature and communities for generations to come.
Tree Planting
Our Tree Planting initiatives form the cornerstone of our mission to restore and enrich our landscapes. We carefully select native species to enhance biodiversity, stabilize soil, and sequester carbon, ensuring each tree contributes to a healthier ecosystem. Our planting projects are designed with long-term ecological benefits in mind, fostering resilient habitats for wildlife and communities alike, while laying the foundation for thriving, sustainable environments.
Land Regeneration
My Tree Legacy’s Land Regeneration efforts focus on revitalizing degraded and marginal landscapes to restore their ecological vitality.Through strategic revegetation we transform land that is depleted, compacted, and struggling into thriving habitats. Our holistic approach integrates native flora and sustainable land management practices, ensuring long-term resilience and supporting biodiversity for future generations of New Zealand’s unique ecosystems.
Pest Management
My Tree Legacy’s Pest Management initiatives are vital to protecting our local ecosystems from invasive species that threaten native flora and fauna. Through targeted and consistent control measures, we manage pests like possums, rats, rabbits, stoats, wasps, wild pigs and goats, using environmentally safe methods. Our efforts ensure that regenerating landscapes and wildlife habitats remain resilient, supporting biodiversity and safeguarding the ecological balance for future generations.
Conservation
My Tree Legacy’s Conservation efforts are dedicated to protecting and enhancing New Zealand’s unique biodiversity. Beyond planting trees, we are looking to become a part of kiwi and bat monitoring programs and helping to preserve their habitats through targeted initiatives. By fostering healthy ecosystems and promoting sustainable practices, we ensure the long-term survival of our precious wildlife and the vibrant natural heritage of Aotearoa for future generations.
