Tree Plantation 2008

19 July 2008, Manukau, Auckland

NZNS members overwhelmingly participated the tree planting program on Saturday 19 July 2008 in Manukau with the support of Manukau City Council, Wai-Care and Nestle. Altogether 600 native trees were planted on the day. The native trees includes Ti Kouka (Cordyline australis), Karamu (Coprosma robusta), Kohuhu (Pittosporum tenuifolium), Tarata (Pittosporum eugeneoides), Manuka (Leptospermum scoparium), Kanuka (Kunzea ericoides), harakeke (Phormium tenax), Mmahoe (Melicytus ramiflorus). The planting site is adjacent to the last year plantation. The survival and growth of the last year plantation is very encouraging.
