Crown Forestry Rental Trust

The Crown Forestry Rental Trust is a program in New Zealand that provides financial assistance to Indigenous Māori claimants pursuing land claims related to forestry resources. It funds research and legal work to support Māori efforts in restoring their rights and properties related to native forests. Managed by the Waitangi Tribunal, the Trust ensures Māori communities have the resources needed to explore historical land claims, gather evidence, and participate effectively in the treaty settlement process. Its goal is to promote fair resolution of land disputes and support Māori aspirations related to their ancestral forests.
