A million trees
Over the past three years, we have undertaken to plant one million mainly native trees and shrubs across Auckland. It was an ambitious undertaking but this year, we will not only hit a million trees mark, but we will also exceed it by one hundred thousand.
By achieving this we have helped make our city a greener and more pleasant place. Join us at our Matariki public planting sessions at Hunua Domain (Sat 18 May), Totara Park (Fri 14 and Sat 15 of June) and Metro Park East in Silverdale (Sun 29 June).
Some Choice News!
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!
