Why keep count
Counting the trees means we can recognise all of the great work that thousands of Kiwis do each year.
It could also help to measure the collective impact we have on climate change.
Get involved
Every Kiwi can play their part in slowing down climate change. Join the movement to plant and look after millions more trees for generations to come.
There are heaps of ways to get involved:
- Enter your tree count data
- Register your planting projects
- Fund or gift trees
- Pledge volunteer time or land
You can get involved as an individual, family, business or organisation.
See the Trees That Count website for more information.
