Save money by dealing with tree problems sooner rather than later

Melissa Thompson from The Tree People

Trees with broken branches?
Trees getting too big for the space?
Trees planted too close to houses, sheds, garages or fences?

These issues are easy to ignore or put off, but addressing them sooner rather than later can save you a lot of hassle, and money, down the track!

Dealing with tree problems early:
- prevents further damage and potential hazards
- saves money on more extensive repairs or tree work
- keeps your garden healthy and beautiful

Whether it's pests, disease, structural or placement issues, a little attention to your trees now can prevent further issues later.

Keeping you and your trees happy, healthy and safe!

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!
