A heartfelt thanks to the incredible team of students from Upper Atiamuri School who dedicated their morning to planting 1,000 native plants. It was also a joy for these young environmentalists to witness the growth of the plants they had previously planted.
Also, a very special thank you to New World Tokoroa for their generous donation of fruit for the children today; it was thoroughly enjoyed by them.

A heartfelt thank you to our volunteer planting team for their efforts today.
The Manulife team had an impressive turnout, with staff and their families coming in from Tokoroa, Rotorua, and Tauranga to help plant over 2,700 native trees. The weather was on our side too, making for a splendid morning for everyone involved in the event. Thank you for your hard work today and for your ongoing support of our project.

The 2024 Planting Season is underway!
A warm shout-out to the Mercury team and your families for braving the chilly, foggy morning to plant natives trees by Lake Atiamuri. As the fog cleared and the sun broke through, the cool air remained, yet the vigorous activity of planting 2,000 native trees quickly brought warmth to all.
We extend our heartfelt thanks for your continued support of our project.

This year, as a component of our releasing program, we are utilising wool clippings from a sheep farm in Tokoroa to mulch around the year-old native trees situated near the Waikato River Trail.
Many thanks to Ryan for providing the wool and to the Department of Corrections for distributing it around our trees.

We have recently tidied up some Trail between Arapuni Dam and Jones Landing.
The Trail is 4km each way, an ideal lakeside experience for walkers or cyclists with advanced skills.
The lookout over Lake Arapuni is definitely worth the short detour.

We are pleased to have recently completed the installation of markers every kilometre along the off road sections of the Waikato River Trail.
The markers along each section of Trail result from feedback from a number of Trail users. We expect these markers to help if anyone has a mechanical issue or accident on the trail requiring assistance and for the many kind people who report things like trees down along the Trail.
