Think Like a Forest

Think Like A Forest is a powerful short film that brings the vision of Recloaking Papatūānuku to life — a bold, science-led initiative to restore, regenerate, enhance and manage over two million hectares of native forests and wetlands across Aotearoa in the next 30 years.

Our protagonist in the film, hunter, fisher and conservationist Sam the Trap Man, speaks to kaitiaki already doing this work on the ground, and presents a vision for a regenerative future in which we take action to create resilience for our land and communities.

Hut Keepers - A grassroots legacy for New Zealand’s remote huts
Directed by Liam Hall and shown at the 2025 New Zealand Mountain Film Festival, Hutkeepers follows Andrew Buglass on the journey to preserve New Zealand’s remote backcountry huts and tracks.

In recent decades, as priorities shifted and budgets tightened, the government’s participation in maintaining the backcountry hut network began to shrink. Many of these backcountry shelters — once routinely serviced — were quietly dropped from maintenance schedules, left to weather, rot, or be removed altogether. For a while, it seemed inevitable that a large number would simply disappear, lost to time and neglect. But their value never faded for those who knew what they meant — as landmarks, resting places, and cultural touchstones. The risk of losing something so woven into New Zealand’s outdoor heritage sparked a quiet response: not from institutions, but from individuals, communities, and grassroots groups who refused to let these places vanish without a fight. The Hut Keepers.
