Want to take action over climate change, and do it now? Then sponsor me to plant a tree. I've planted over 5000 trees - help me get to 10000!

In rural Miranda, NZ, I began planting trees in 2007 - turning 12 hectares of steep eroded land into a sustainable reforested park-like environment, rich in biodiversity and covered in trees.

The trees

1 shrub/vine/sml tree: Seedling in up to 1-litre pot, selected to suit the planting location, could be fruiting, climbing, ground-cover, or native.
3 large trees: Seedlings in up to 6-litre pots, selected to suit the planting location, mature size forms forest canopy, could be exotic or native.
10 NZ native trees: Seedlings in up to 10-litre pots, all will be NZ native trees.

All sponsored trees and plants will be planted at Miranda Energy Park - a 12.5Ha private property located in the north-Waikato region of New Zealand, about an hour's drive south-east of Auckland. Species selected will depend on planting location and tree availability. Tree planting times in NZ are usually March-October, however some species can be planted any time. All planting is weather dependant.
