Land owners, trustees and us

We work with land owners, trustees and the Māori Land Court. We look out for what’s best for the people, the land and the future.

Land owners

Being an involved land owner

Land owners are responsible for the protection and sustainability of their land. We support the kaitiakitanga of owners.

Trustees

How trustees manage the land

Trustees are the people asked by land owners or the Māori Land Court to protect the land, based on the trust order.
