Conservation Volunteers Plant 757 Trees on Aotea
Aotea welcomed three dedicated conservation volunteers in July, who braved torrential rain to plant over 700 trees. Amy Dent, Tejo Schie, and Andrea Oberg worked alongside the DOC team, planting pōhutukawa trees at Awana Beach campsite and mixed native trees at Woolshed wetland. The project enhances habitats for native bird species and showcases the island’s commitment to conservation.
