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 100,000 natives throughout the Whakatipu Basin. Our sites are thriving examples of successful ecological restoration, providing habitat and food for native birds, insects and invertebrates.
Watch this space for autumn 2024 planting dates.
