Lauderdale Reserve | Treeview Reserve

Each year, we come together to plant something truly special—a forest grown from love, generosity, and climate action. This is our annual Gift-a-Tree Planting Day, where gift givers and receivers gather to plant their native-tree-gifts into the ground, transforming heartfelt gifts into living, breathing taonga.

Together, we’ll create a vibrant patch of forest that supports native wildlife, protects waterways, and captures carbon for years to come. Whether you’ve gifted a tree in someone’s name or received one yourself, this day is about connection—to nature, to people, and to purpose.

•  A beautiful way to honour birthdays, milestones, and memories
• Gloves provided | ???? No planting experience needed
• Come help grow a gifted forest!

Please note:

This is a priority event for those who have participated in Kaipātiki Project’s Gift-a-Tree programme—either by gifting or receiving a native tree. The first round of bookings will be offered exclusively to those individuals.

If there are spaces remaining, we’ll open up any available tickets to the wider public - so stay tuned to this page, our newsletter, and our social channels for updates.
