Well, Tane is attributed with many qualities that make him the god of many things and not only the forest and he has many names which commerate different deeds. However, the question refers to Tane Mahuta. Tane-Mahuta literally means Tane-the-riser (he who makes things rise such as trees rising out of the ground) therefore in this sense he is the god of the forest. The naming of the large Kauri with that of Tane-Mahuta is mainly due to the fact that it is the largest tree in NZ and therefore it would be right to name it after the god of the forest.
The Maori god of the forest: Tanemahuta or Tane Mahuta.
