This page provides useful links to further information for landowners:

• A case study of how Nuhiti Q – Māori land on the East Cape – became involved in carbon farming.
• A report on Māori land owners’ decision-making processes and their cost (in time and other resources) when considering whether to enter the NZ ETS using native forests (both newly planted and natural regeneration). 
• A simplified explanation of the New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme.
