Thanks to the incredible generosity of our communi ty\, and matched support through the Ma Earth Fund\, we're excited to begi n bringing this vision to life.

A place of abundance\, learning\, biodiversity\, and community for generations to come.

Before we get planting\, local tree cro p legends Hannah Dawson and Eric Cairns will share a few practical tips an d some of the wisdom behind heritage fruit trees and long-term orchard est ablishment. Then we'll roll up our sleeves and begin planting the first se ction of what we hope becomes one of Mangaroa's most loved spaces. What to bring:🥾 Sturdy footwear🌦 Weather-appropriate clothing💧 Water bottle🪏 A spade if you have one Whether you're sponsoring a tree\, curious about t he project\, or simply keen to spend a morning outdoors doing something wo rthwhile\, we'd love to have you with us.
