The work, undertaken over three years, has helped restore Aotearoa’s natural environment and support community wellbeing across the country, and there is more to come this year. The first planting day took place on World Environment Day, 5 June at the Greening Taupō Day.
Bupa started investing in nature restoration with TTC in 2022 with 26,000 trees planted over two years to create three legacy forests in Hamilton, Christchurch, and Napier. In each location, residents, whānau, and local schools joined forces to restore nature and create spaces for connection, healing, and habitat regeneration.
