With the 2025 planting season nearly over, it’s time to celebrate what has been achieved over the past 4 months in Taranaki. Twelve schools across the region planted a grand total of 8,320 native trees, shrubs and grasses. This winter, Kaimana School, Green School and St Joseph’s Ōpunake held their very first Trees for Survival planting days. The students experienced a range of conditions from brisk southerly winds, steep but scenic hillsides, to boggy “loose-your-crocs” mud! It is great to see the Trees for Survival community growing in Taranaki!
