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 140,000 natives throughout the Whakatipu Basin. Our sites are thriving examples of successful ecological restoration, providing habitat and food for native birds, insects and invertebrates.
We have now finished planting for Autumn 2026.
Keep an eye out for our Spring planting dates in September.
