New Zealanders are being challenged to plant a native tree on Arbor Day 2017 (5 June) to set a record for the most trees ever planted on one day in New Zealand.

This challenge comes from Trees that Count, an ambitious new programme which aims to increase native tree planting in New Zealand - to help restore and enhance the environment, encourage biodiversity in cities, clean air and waterways and make a tangible difference to climate change.

Trees that Count call for a good old New Zealand "can do" attitude, love of nature and the outdoors and spirit of getting behind a cause to see as many people as possible plant a native tree on Arbor Day.

Register your pledge with Trees that Count today and you'll add to the count, then get together on Arbor Day and plant your tree!

If you are unable to plant you can fund a tree for $10 which Trees that Count will plant on your behalf.
