Hug A Tree club is centred around raising awareness around restoration of local reserves; while also supporting conservation efforts through providing physical assistance to these events such as Bushglen Reserve weeding and trapping. We also raise money to support local conservation projects to restore our beautiful communities and reduce the impact of urban densification.

Hug a Tree will be hosting numerous fundraising and volunteering events for conservation efforts around the shore to help protect our environment and begin to address some of the impacts of densification and urban development.

Through Hug a Tree, students will be able to get involved in planting and volunteering with organisations such as Restore Hibiscus and Bays, which are tackling invasive species and pollution.  Some of our planned events this year to support our community include pot and earring making, candy floss sale and plant growing competitions.

Participation in Hug a Tree counts towards the service element of Rangitoto Summit Diploma.
