Winter planting events 2021

Join us for tree planting in one of our stunning parks. We are planting over 400,000 trees in some of our parks this winter which will make a significant contribution to the health and resilience of our region. You can be part of the solution for our environment while enjoying getting close to nature with your friends and whānau.

Not only do these trees make the places we live and play look beautiful, but they also help increase biodiversity, prevent soil erosion, remove greenhouse gases and improve water quality. We have a wide range of planting programmes this and every winter. Join us at one of the many events we have planned from 10 June until late September 2021.   

Check out the list of various events, call 0800 496 734, or check out Facebook for event details.
