Every day our plants are on a mission. We’re so proud of the many missions our plants are on. These are some of our favourite examples of ecosystems that have kept our fingernails dirty over the last few years.

Auckland Regional Parks
Auckland’s coastal regional parks are truly a slice of ecological paradise, and Kauri Park is proud to have worked on projects in Duder, Waitawa and Tapapakanga on Auckland’s east coast, planting native revegetation to restore these beautiful ecosystems.
The Lakes Tauriko
The Lakes in Tauriko is an innovative, residential development in the Bay of Plenty which includes 2450 sections and took over 4 years to complete. Kauri Park was awarded the planting project based on the scale of our nursery, quality of plants, supporting infrastructure, and our ability to deliver.
Te Ara Nui o Te Rangihaeata – Transmission Gully
Achieving good long-term environmental outcomes was a big part of the Transmission Gully project, a 27km long, four lane stretch of motorway north of Wellington, and Kauri Park’s planting of 2.5 million plants played a significant role in the results.
Thomas Road – An Urban Forest.
The preservation of Auckland’s urban forest is vital to protect biodiversity and ecosystem services, mitigate climate change, and enhance human well-being. This project to create a 2.3km green urban corridor linking Flat Bush to Barry Curtis Park, demonstrates perfectly how this can be achieved.
Northern Diversion
The Northern Diversion project was a juxtaposition of a man-made quarry, and Mother Nature – the adjacent estuary. Our task was to create a self-sufficient ecosystem in between them, seamlessly blending the two worlds and providing enjoyment to those passing through.
Ara Tūhono–Pūhoi to Warkworth
Ara Tūhono means a connecting pathway - perfect for this much vaunted stretch of motorway that extends the Northern Motorway from the Johnstones Hill Tunnels to Warkworth, contributing to the economic growth of the Northland region.
Tamata Hills
This private property is the intersection of multiple pathways of different missions. The property owners are on a mission to leave the land as a richer ecosystem for the next generation so are returning large areas of steep hillsides into native bush.
Alpurt Motorway
The Auckland Northern Motorway has been a multi-year marathon for NZTA. Carving a major state highway through geologically complicated terrain was certainly a complex task for the many engineers and designers involved.
Rotoroa Island
This 82ha (200 acre) slice of island paradise in the Hauraki Gulf is a piece of New Zealand history and now a haven for natural plants and birds to thrive in a protected ecosystem.
Cambridge Bypass
The Cambridge Bypass, part of the Waikato Expressway, is the largest Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Authority project in the history of the Waikato region.
Taramakau Bridge
The Taramakau Bridge, which crosses the Taramakau River between Kumara Junction and Greymouth on the West Coast, was a two year and $25 million dollar project for Waka Kotahi NZTA and was officially opened in July 2018.
Parengarenga Incorporation
Just half an hour south of Cape Reinga lies Parengarenga Station, a diverse, nearly 6000-hectare farming operation that stretches between both coasts of the country.
Onehunga Foreshore
The Onehunga foreshore is a unique part of the Auckland landscape - a man-made shoreline created to restore the environment that was destroyed in the 1977 construction of State Highway 20.
Rangiriri Pa
The Rangiriri Bypass is a section of the Waikato Expressway which snakes across the region helping transform New Zealand into a modern and vibrant economy.
