25 volunteers, 1000 native trees π³ Huge thanks to everyone who came out to help restore our newly fenced area back into wetlands, flanking a stream edge, and expanding the edges of a young regenerating beech forest.
Riparian planting like this protects waterways, brings back the birdlife, aquatic life, and keeps the whenua thriving.
It's amazing what can be achieved with many hands.
Afterwards, our hard working crew enjoyed a BBQ and soup prepared by @carlos.riegel and @annaleigh at Te Wharekai.
Shout out to Peter Handford and the Groundtruth team for coordinating with @zebulon to make it happen ππ½
Tree planting is a deeply satisfying act - you place a seedling in the ground and know it will outlast you. Create a connection to place and plant a tree with your whΔnau.
Join our next planting day Saturday 6th September from 10am - 3pm. Tree Planting at Mangaroa Farms
