Community Planting Days and Working Bees
Each spring and autumn we invite our community to help plant native trees and shrubs at our keystone sites. Since 2015, we have planted over 120,000 natives throughout the Whakatipu Basin. Our sites are thriving examples of successful ecological restoration, providing habitat and food for native birds, insects and invertebrates. Look out for our Autumn planting dates.
Meanwhile we are currently running 6 weeks of community working bees every Tuesday morning from 9am-noon. Join us to give our young natives some TLC and enjoy spending time at one of our beautiful keystone sites around the basin. Click below to find out more.
