Starfish Mucks In To Celebrate World Environment Day.
On World Environment Day (Friday 5 June) the team at Starfish swapped frocks for gumboots and joined Project Crimson, Meridian, WCC and some local schools in a mass planting of native trees in Wellington.
Two thousand five hundred young trees, including five hundred northern rata, were planted at Ian Galloway Park as part of Project Crimson’s efforts to enable pohutukawa and rata to flourish again in their natural habitat.
We like to think of it as a ‘thanksgiving for the world’ where it’s all about giving back rather than taking. And what better way to mark World Environment Day than getting stuck in and giving a home to rata seedlings – or any tree for that matter.
