We invite you to adopt a street tree over summer, as it's the season where they face the most stress.

We will give you tips about avoiding mower damage, how to mulch and water to give our trees the best support. We will also help you find out more about the type of tree that you are caring for and what you can expect from it as it grows, flowers and fruits.

Street trees have been planted by Auckland Council for everyone to enjoy. They are aiming to increase the number of streets with trees on their verges as part of their Urban Ngahere plan.

By caring for a tree you are caring for a piece of the environment that belongs to all Aucklanders, for their benefit and the benefit of the wonderful wildlife that we share this city with. A healthy street tree contributes hugely to our environment in many ways.

Email enquiries@pestfreekaipatiki.org.nz to sign up so that we can ensure there aren’t any double-ups, please include your name, your street name and STL in the subject line. Head to our website for more information.
