Volunteers are needed for our open day on Maungawhau/Mt Eden: http://www.maungawhau.co.nz/events/love-your-mountain-day-2012.html
Living Legends Operations Manager, Gordon Hosking, has been busy travelling around our sites to check on the health of the trees we planted last year. There is no doubt the 2011 season has been an outstanding success. The majority of sites show over 95% survival of plants and very good growth, largely due to the silver lining of our dismal summer, the trees loved it!
Kia ora all
