DONATE A NATIVE PLANT: For $10 a plant, your donation will support a native plant through its propagation from a seed, to a mature plant ready to be planted out. All native plants we grow are locally eco-sourced. Learn more about our community nursery and why growing natives is so important. Planting native trees means we are helping to combat the effects of climate change and supporting Auckland Council's Urban Ngahere (Forest) strategy. Visit our website https://www.whauriver.org.nz/.
For businesses who would like to become more involved and donate larger numbers of plants (a minimum of 100 plants), plants can come with an enviro-friendly plant label with your company name and logo. Lead the way by donating either a few or many native trees.
Donating to WRCT is one of the most effective ways of supporting our work and goes directly to helping to grow native plants for the Whau River Catchment Bush Restoration Projects, restore native bush and help local people to make a difference as part of our GREENING THE WHAU Initiative. Visit https://www.whauriver.org.nz/projects to find out more.
GIFT A TREE: If you're looking for a sustainable present, why not gift a tree for $40 that will be planted in a local reserve within the Whau River Catchment. The person receiving your gift will be sent an email with your personalised message and a Gift Certificate. Their Gift Certificate will also be sent to you so that you can print it if you wish.
