We're planting native trees at Wenderholm! Wenderholm holds a special place in Auckland’s history as its first Regional Park—and one of the most picturesque.

Native planting at this site not only enhances a beautiful recreation site for residents of Tāmaki Makaurau, but also provides erosion control, helping prevent runoff into the harbour, and associated significant soil and water quality benefits.

In 1953, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip spent a day picnicking at Wenderholm — so come and help plant native trees for the Jubilee at this special site.
