Whānau Planting Day a success
Thank you to everyone who dug in with us at our Whānau Planting Day recently. We planted 620 natives around Tamariki Ako (our kids’ bike track area), helping create future shade, shelter, beauty and biodiversity.
A special thank you to Art Deco Napier for supporting our 2026 winter planting programme, and to members of the team who helped us plant.
Thank you to New World Havelock North for generously providing food and catering supplies, and The Evergreen Foundation for the loan of the BBQ.
Thank you to all our volunteers who gave their time and energy to make the day such a success. Ngā mihi – we look forward to seeing you at the next planting day!
