Ngā Kōrero 2025 Webinar Series
1-hour Zoom sessions that will be held every Wednesday evening from 7-8pm for four weeks. The weekly sessions start on 22nd October and end on 12th Nov 2025. Each week we’ve invited different panellists to direct their expertise towards the opportunities and needs of our landowners. If you’re a landowner, trustee, director, land manager, forester - or if you’re aspiring - this series of Māori forestry hot topics is for you.
The series will also help you to quickly familiarise with the direction and progress of He Rautaki Ngahere Māori 2040 (the national Māori forestry strategy) ensuring you’re informed when you attend the bi-annual Māori forestry summit Ngā Kōrero Rangatira mō Ngā Hua Ngahere 2025 - should you choose to register for that event. That summit will be held in Rotorua on the 20th & 21st Nov 2025. Cost for full attendance is $200. The summit includes strategy progress reports, special announcements including a communications hub and new partnerships, launch of a young Indigenous foresters’ forum, dinner event and Māori Forestry Awards (at Te Puia, Rotorua) with cash awards sponsored by some generous donors, a Māori Forest research symposium, and a friendly golf game. We also have fresh merchandise. In the coming week, we will send a separate email with an invitation to attend the summit.
Cost to register to attend the web series is $20 per session (we use this to koha our kūkū and kākā panel).
