Seeking your experience of wildfires in NZ native forests

The objective of this questionnaire is to better understand future threats and risks to NZ forests, ecosystems, and biodiversity by increasing the understanding of wildfire risk and potential fire spread in native forests.

We are keen to learn of your experience with wildfires in or alongside native forests to understand future threats and risks to NZ forests, ecosystems and biodiversity. We aim to increase the understanding of wildfire risk and potential fire spread in native forests.

If you have experienced a fire in a native forest, please fill out this questionnaire. We estimate that it will take you about 5 minutes.

If you have experienced multiple fires in native forests, please fill this form out multiple times and/or provide your contact information at the end of the survey so we can follow up with you.
