Community Planting Days
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.
Spring 2025 planting dates: We have completed our planting days for Spring 2025. We are busy growing plants ready to welcome you all out planting again in Autumn.
