We’re excited to announce that Ecoglo International has become a New Zealand FernMark Licensee. The FernMark License Programme is an NZ Government initiative that gives Ecoglo products the “tick of approval” from the NZ Government as being “Made in NZ” and representing the best of NZ around the world.
VISIBLY BETTER PATH MARKING
The Silver Fern is an iconic symbol of New Zealand and resonates with Ecoglo’s values. Traditionally, Māori used the fern as a path marker as its arrow shape was a natural pointer and was highly visible at night with moonlight and rama (flaming torches) reflecting off the “silver” underside of the fern.
Most importantly the Silver Fern represents resilience, perseverance and perpetual motion, this Māori whakataukī (proverb) says it all:
‘Mate atu he toa, ara mai he toa’
When one warrior dies, another arises.
‘Mate atu he tētēkura, ara mai he tētēkura’
When one fern dies, another emerges.
