Planting Day with Kaipātiki Project

This year Kaipātiki Project will be hosting Seven planting days across various reserves!

Join us for our last, and most heartfelt planting day of the season, our Gift-a-Tree planting day, where we plant a 'gifted forest'.

Throughout the year, and especially during the festive season, many of our supporters and fellow environmental enthusiasts send 'tree gifts' through Kaipātiki Project to loved ones, family members, friends, and colleagues. The gifted tree is grown by volunteers in our nursery, and each year we plant over 200 of these trees, alongside tree givers and receivers. It is a special planting day, that is followed by a shared BBQ lunch. There are a few places open to the public, outside of those who gifted or received. It is well worth attending this event if you can.

The native plants that we have set aside for this season have been growing in our nursery, nurtured by the caring hands of our dedicated volunteers. Now it is planting season, and our trees must set their roots. Join us as we expand and strengthen our local reserves with more native plants this year. These plants will help build soil, reduce erosion, stabilise coastal and stream edges, provide habitat to local wildlife, beautify the community, and capture carbon from our atmosphere. It's a great way to spend the day with friends and family, or making new friends, as you connect with nature and make a positive impact on our environment.
