Pit Stop and Sustainable Coastlines invite you to join us for an awesome day of planting in Christchurch!

Bring your family, friends and colleagues on Sunday 4th October and we’ll arm you with all the knowledge and tools to get going. Planting starts at 9:30 am and will be going until early afternoon. 

We are confident in our processes and protocols to run safe, family friendly tree plantings. If you have any questions in regards to these, please read our above protocols and get in touch with any questions.

We are assisting with large-scale riparian planting in Christchurch. The goals here are to protect water quality, enhance social capital through community events, enhance cultural capital by increasing mahinga kai opportunities and create habitat for indigenous biodiversity.  We have identified a site where a significant riparian restoration project is looking for support to acquire and plant trees next to the Waimakariri River – in a popular public picnic spot at White’s Crossing.

Places are limited for this event so please register on the form below to confirm your attendance. Even if you can only spare a few hours we would love to see you there.
