I used to look at the state of our environment and feel absolute despair.
Rainforests being cut down. Waterways polluted. Disposable products created with little thought for where they end up.
What difference could one person possibly make?
Then we moved to the land we now call Khemeia Valley.
I spent time in the tired forest, beside the river and on land that was never really suited to grazing.
And the message felt incredibly simple:
Plant trees. Regenerate the land. Be its kaitiaki — its guardians.
We can't fix everything.
But that doesn't mean we can do nothing.
We can take one small, meaningful action and allow it to ripple outward.
That's what we're doing here.
When you sponsor a tree through My Tree Legacy, we don't simply take your contribution, plant a tree and say thank you. 🌱 Your tree is planted as part of our regeneration
📍 We geo-tag its exact location
🎥 You receive photos and video
🌳 We tell you about your tree and why it belongs where we've planted it
💚 You can follow its growth — and if you ever find yourself in Northland, New Zealand, you can even come and visit it.
Because somewhere along this journey we realised something:
As we regenerate this land, we are regenerating our lives too.
🌱 The problem may feel too big.
But your action doesn't have to be.
Start with one tree.
Let it ripple.
Create a Legacy.
