Ten Trees

St Mark’s families planted 135 Kahikatea saplings at a community planting day in Mairehau on 10 October 2020.

The tree planting was led by Trees for Canterbury with the Christchurch City Council, Conservation Volunteers NZ and the RSA, which hopes to plant 350,000 trees nationwide to honour each person who has served overseas in the Armed Forces since the First World War.

Over 100 community volunteers helped plant 3000 Kahikatea saplings, the first of 40,000 in total to be planted over the next 2 years as a flood zone forest in the Cranford Basin.

Over time, the planting will resemble Putaringamotu / Riccarton Bush.

Join the vision and volunteer!
