This is our third year doing Trees for Survival and we love it! We had SO many students wanting to do it that it was hard to pick 30!
As an Enviro School we feel it is really important to be part of this native tree planting programme both to help the environment but also to give the students to opportunity to be outside and experience nature. One student just sat and watched the river for 10 minutes! It was a beautiful sight. We particularly enjoyed being at the farm in Clevedon as we also got to see the eels and horses. We would LOVE to go back another year!”

Partner experience - Fonterra
We’ve partnered again with Trees for Survival to provide resources to schools, so students can grow and plant native trees.
In 2022, our support allowed students from 5 schools to collectively plant over 2,000 native trees. After seeing that incredible impact, we’ve quadrupled our support in 2023 and backed 22 schools. We are supporting 15 existing Trees for Survival schools and helping 7 new schools to be onboarded onto the programme.
Our support will help provide each new school with a shade house, so students can learn how to plant and care for their own native plants through Trees for Survival’s environmental education programme. The 22 schools we are supporting are either participants of the Kickstart Breakfast programme, or are close to a Fonterra farm or manufacturing site. This partnership was made possible through Fonterra’s Hapori Programme, which operates with partners across Aotearoa New Zealand to:
protect and regenerate the environment
put good quality nutrition in the hands of those who need it most
keep our communities strong.
Planting recently taken place on a Fonterra farm in Pirongia, North Island.
