This was the funniest Cornia Vrey at STIHL SHOP Pukekohe said "Let me get a photo of you with the love of your life" as he held the box. I photo bombed it. He told me to .... leave, but not that politely 😆 I am now 2nd in line!

We have recently learnt that y'all don't know what we can do!

Here are some of the things we can do.

Got a tree in any form? We can probably help you out!

Drop us a line and we can chat about the best solution for you.

This is an amazing opportunity. We have used this funding and if you'd like to discuss the process with us, we are happy to provide support.

Plus those images are from our wee slice of paradise!

We are so grateful for the support we have had to get to this space. From Auckland Council through to the myriad of others that have supported us. I reckon over 500 different people have helped plant the trees on our place.

Come join me learn to identify native birds!

Think you've got more native birds after your planting project? Curious about bird calls and who they belong to? Join our next workshop!

The Five-Minute Bird Count (or 5MBC) method is used nationwide to show changes in forest bird abundance and diversity. Natasha of EcoQuest will run us through the bird count method, with lots of hands-on practice.

We'll be meeting at 9am on the 26th of September, at the Blue Blight Youth Camp on Hatton Road. Please register by contacting [email protected] so we know who to expect.

We've got a busy few months ahead at Chritas Wood, and our calendar is already filling up.

If you've been putting off that pruning, felling, sawmilling or other tree work, get in touch now and we'll see what we can fit in.

If you need it done before Christmas, October is looking like the time to get organised.

The newest member of the team is certainly in training. Though he loves wood already, chewing Patrick's wooden truck wasn't on the job list. Warming my feet while I do office work is however, an area where he has shown initiative!
