Trees are good for us.
They...
- help with climate change
- make oxygen and clean the air
- are a habitat (home) for wild life
- hold stories, meaning and memories
- make us feel safe and well
- and so much more!
Join in with the Kiwi Conservation Club’s 'Be with a tree' week (4-10 June 2018) to show your appreciation for our fantastic NZ trees. Visit a tree, or trees, in your community with the people you care about. Go for a short time, or make a day of it – picnic anyone?
Make sure though to follow the rules around trees in your area whilst doing so.
Find out how to help to make a record of all the trees visited around the country too at www.kcc.org.nz/portfolio/be-with-a-tree-week.
Get in touch with Sarah and Rebecca at kcc@forestandbird.org.nz for a poster to share. Let’s try and make this celebration as big as SeaWeek!
