Yates are proud to support Trees for Survival
The Trees for Survival (TfS) programme is run by the TfS Charitable Trust and is a hands-on environmental education experience for children which promotes growing and planting native trees and shrubs to:
- help control soil erosion
- safeguard water quality
- increase biodiversity by providing new habitats for animals and other plants
- restore and beautify our landscape
- remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere
- renew a natural resource
In doing so children learn key plant care techniques and experience the enjoyment to be gained from caring for and growing plants. They also gain an appreciation of the value of our native flora and the key role plants play in supporting ecosystems.
The programme also creates community partnerships by engaging not only schools and landowners but service clubs, regional and local councils, business sponsors and volunteers who all work together to protect our environmental heritage.
The website www.tfsnz.org.nz will outline how you can become more involved.
