Kauri 2000 was a long-term initiative aimed at restoring substantial kauri forests on public conservation land in the Coromandel Peninsula, following nearly two centuries of logging.

The project received support from thousands of individuals both in New Zealand and globally, leading to the planting of over 55,000 kauri trees since 2000 by dedicated local volunteers, visiting sponsors, and enthusiastic school students.

After 25 years of annual plantings, the trust has concluded its planting program. Remaining funds will now be allocated to the ongoing protection of kauri forests on the Coromandel Peninsula
