We’re stoked to have the @IVHQ programme back up and running, and even more stoked that our first volunteer is so passionate about Aotearoa and our work 💚Last week, for National Volunteer Week (19–25 June) we chatted to Jennifer about her motivations for coming half way around the world and supporting our mahi — have a read at the link in our bio @SUSTAINABLECOASTLINES 👈#volunteering #nationalvolunteerweek #ivhq #treeplanting #ecotourism #givingback

Ngā mihi o Matariki, te tau hou Māori! Happy Mat

Ngā mihi o Matariki, te tau hou Māori!
Happy Matariki, the Māori New Year!Last Saturday we celebrated Matariki with two tree-plantings in Tāmaki Makaurau — in Te Atatū Peninsula and Puhinui Reserve with our amazing volunteers, collaborators at @aklcouncil, @anz_nz, and Te Pu-a-nga Maara (Puhinui) and Te Atatū Marae Coalition.Planting trees is a symbol of new beginnings, so a fitting way to celebrate the Māori New Year during the rise of the star cluster Matariki (Pleiades). Each star is seen to hold significance over particular aspects of our lives or the environment. We’d like to highlight three of them with special importance for the restoration mahi we do:🌟Tupuārangi, who is connected to the uncultivated foods and forests, including insects, plants and birds.
💫Waitī, who is connected to freshwater and all living things that inhabit the springs, rivers, lakes, streams and wetlands.
✨Matariki herself, who gives her name to the entire star cluster and ensures they rise together. She signals the health of the environment and is associated with wellbeing.Wishing you a beautiful Matariki with your whānau.#matariki #pleiades #newyear #newbeginnings #teaomāori #māorinewyear #treeplanting #collaboration #community #events
