Greening Taupō Day 2023

We are celebrating the great work that Greening Taupō and Kids Greening Taupō do in our community by ‘Greening Taupō’ again! Join us on Friday 2 June 2023 and together, let’s paint the town green!

Celebrations will include a community Arbor Day Planting Event off Crown Road where we will plant 4500 trees using donations from last year’s event and with support from Trees that Count and Taupo District Council. Join us between 9.30 am and 1 pm to plant some trees, participate in the range of free activities and enjoy a free sausage or soup. Special guests will be there to entertain and educate, along with a huge range of conservation experts and local businesses running free fun activities.

Get your staff to dress in green, decorate your shop/business in green, and collect donations for Greening Taupō and Kids Greening Taupō. Schools and ECE centres are encouraged to have a ‘Dress up in Green’ mufti day and to collect gold coin donations. Participate in our Arbor Day Community Planting Day, or focus on environmental/conservation activities at your business or school for the day.

All money raised will go towards allowing Greening Taupō and Kids Greening Taupō to continue with the great work that they do. Together they have planted over 180,000 native trees in Taupō so far, with many more planting days planned for 2023. They also provide free environmental education, events, and teacher professional development to kindergartens and schools in Taupō.
