Check out how it all went down on Greening Taupō Day 2024! What a fabulous day!

We are celebrating the great work that Greening Taupō and Kids Greening Taupō do in our community by ‘Greening Taupō’ again! Join us again June 5th, 2025 and together, let’s paint the town GREEN!

Celebrations will include a community Arbor Day Planting Event with support from Taupo District Council. Join us on Tauhara Road (along the back of the golf course) to plant native trees, participate in the range of free activities and enjoy a free sausage or soup. Special guests will be there to entertain and educate, along with a huge range of conservation experts and local businesses running free fun activities. This planting is part of the long-term vision of creating native corridors into Taupō to bring native wildlife to urban Taupō and link up the remaining stands of native bush.

Get your staff to dress in green, decorate your shop/business in green, and collect donations for Greening Taupō and Kids Greening Taupō. Schools and ECE centres are encouraged to have a ‘Dress up in Green’ mufti day and to collect gold coin donations. Participate in our Arbor Day Community Planting Day, or focus on environmental/conservation activities at your business or school for the day.

All money raised will go towards allowing Greening Taupō and Kids Greening Taupō to continue with the great work that they do. Together they have planted over 250,000 native trees in Taupō so far with the community, with many more planting days planned for 2024/2025.  They also provide free environmental education, native plants, events, and teacher professional development to kindergartens and schools in Taupō and Tūrangi areas. 40 schools and ECE centres have restoration plantings supported by Kids Greening Taupō.
