Core values for NZTCA Wellington-Horowhenua Branch:
· Promotes interest in useful tree crops: fruit, nuts, timber, fuel, livestock fodder, bee forage and other productive crops.
· Research and share knowledge about the many and varied types of trees we might grow in New Zealand to produce a useful crop, be it for people, animals or protecting our environment.
· To bring the benefits of useful tree crops to the wider community of the district.
· To be based in the Wellington and Horowhenua region.
Applications are invited from home gardeners, small-block holders, community gardens, horticulturists, farmers, scientists and all who are interested in growing productive trees to promote projects for greater public benefit. Applications are open for submission from 11th March till 30th April 2024.
As part of the evaluation process of the submission for funding, the members of the Committee may wish to visit the site and meet members of the project team.

The decision of the Wellington-Horowhenua Branch NZTCA on all applications is final and non-negotiable.
