Ekos Forever Forests

It’s not just a line item anymore.

Its a legacy project.

Why We Exist

Ekos Forever Forests was established to create sustainable environmental improvements through the design, establishment, development, delivery and ongoing management of long-term continuous cover forests and nature positive solutions.  

We establish and develop projects that provide positive environmental outcomes AND financial returns.  We help organisations move from climate ambition to real, measurable action. 
 
Whether you're: 
🌳 Buying land to regenerate native forest 
 
🌳 Planting to generate your own carbon removals 
 
🌳 Registering a project in the NZ Emissions Trading Scheme (NZ ETS) OR
 
🌳 Integrating removals into your GHG reporting
 
We help you do it from start to finish
 
No middlemen. No greenwash. Just credible, transparent carbon projects, co-designed with landowners, built right here in Aotearoa New Zealand. 
 
If you’re ready to own your impact (literally!), we’re ready to show you how.
