The Human-Nature Trust founded by Rob Lay, with executive director Chera van Burg and chairman Michael Solomon has been experimenting with mass planting techniques over the past 6 years. Their processes are now yielding unprecedented survival rates for planted native trees. Their mission is to expand the impact of their work both within New Zealand and to a global level in an effort to directly counter the rise of carbon dioxide and it's effect on climate change.
Planting requires access in order to transport the plants to the site and to maintain them after they are planted. However, those once seemingly ugly scars on the land vanish very quickly under a calm canopy of green, as this video attempts to demonstrate.
