Queenstown eco-venture Treespace Queenstown Ltd has fast-tracked its forest planting plans for Mount Dewar after receiving a funding boost from tech entrepreneur and part-time resort resident Rod Drury.
Treespace director Adam Smith tells
Mountain Scene Drury’s not only come on board as an
investor, but provided a finance facility to fast-track the venture’s reforestation programme.
Smith says it ‘‘dramatically brings forward’’ the venture’s environmental impact and its recreational benefits for locals and visitors through a new bike trail network.
It has also shortened the lead-time for selling sites for its forest settlement, Smith says.
