About Manaaki Whenua Press

Manaaki Whenua Press produces and distributes New Zealand natural history and science publications. We started business in 1993, as part of the New Zealand Crown Research Institute Manaaki Whenua - Landcare Research.

Our publications

Many of our books are developed from research by the staff of Landcare Research, and include the standard reference works on flora and fauna in New Zealand. We also stock books produced by other New Zealand natural history publishers, and we are the New Zealand distributors for books produced by CSIRO Publishing in Melbourne, Australia.

New Manaaki Whenua Press publications are produced each year, while stock is kept of many backlist titles going back over forty years of New Zealand science.

Our people

The business is operated by Catherine Montgomery and Adrienne Farr. Catherine joined the business in 1997, and became manager in 2005. Adrienne joined Manaaki Whenua Press in May 2005.

You can visit us in person at our showroom in the Pearce Building at Landcare Research in Gerald Street, Lincoln, five minutes walk from Lincoln University. Our business hours are 8.30am to 4.30pm, Monday to Friday.
