We are trying Hard to keep New Zealand Beautiful

First Light Travel and our sister company, New Zealand Trails, recognize the need to reduce our environmental footprint. Through our carbon measurement and offset program, we have planted over 3,000 native beech trees to date. We are partnered with some amazing people and companies, and for all of us, this is an ongoing commitment. This blog follows our journey.

Our offset program (Tree Planting) can be found here.

Without large scale funding and control within twenty years 20% of New Zealand will be covered with wilding pines. As wilding conifers spread across our landscapes they: reduce the numbers of plants and animals that are only found in New Zealand.

New Zealand has been described by National Geographic as a 'world in miniature'. New Zealand is a land of incredible natural wonders with a unique ecosystem featuring many species found only on these islands - and we want to keep it that way!
