Trees for Survival love to celebrate the inspiring stories of many of their landowners. The Harris family recently hosted the Āwhitu School, Waiuku School and Sandspit Road School planting days and have hosted TfS planting in previous years. Their Waiuku property lies at the confluence of two streams flowing into the Manukau harbour and as part of the Āwhitu Peninsula Landscape group they are also planting thousands of native plants at their property this season contributing to the native forest restoration on the Āwhitu peninsula. The schools learn of the Māori heritage of the area and get to hear about the inanga and other species in the waterways that they are helping to protect and provide habitat for. The Harris family are passionate about the land they live on and it is great to see TfS schools contributing to the peninsula wide planting and land care.
