CARING FOR OUR COMMON HOME 

WE CAN ALL HELP GROW MORE TREES by:

*Planting more in our gardens where possible
*Planting in Community gardens
*Engaging in community programmes to revitalize and clean our rivers and streams

*Assisting with planting 

Since 2016, Kiwis have been increasing our native tree numbers. By counting the trees we all plant, we can measure our collective impact on climate change “Many hands make light work”. Living our lives with love makes all the difference.
