Free Tree
🌲 We’re celebrating Arbor Day this week by launching Free Tree Day 🌳
We have lots of native trees like Pōhutukawa, large-leaved Kōwhai, Tōtara, and Kōhūhū to giveaway as we look to increase the city’s tree canopy coverage.
Free native tree? Yeah, I’m in:
👉Be at Mercury Baypark on Sunday, 9 June between 9am – 1pm
👉 One tree per household on a first come, first served basis
👉No trailers necessary as a tree will fit in a car
👉 Fuel up at the coffee cart while you’re there
👉Contribute to increasing Tauranga tree canopy coverage from 22% to 30% or more.
We have 1900 trees to giveaway so share with your friends and whānau and let’s improve our urban greenery and biodiversity together.
