Tree planting at Whitechapel Reserve

I joined a group of volunteers today to plant some natives at Whitechapel Reserve, just 9km ride from home. The community planting day was organised by Whakatipu Reforestation Trust, who to date, have planted over 135,000 natives throughout the Whakatipu Basin. They put on a morning tea with lots of home-baked treats. We've had some amazing Autumn weather, so it was good to get out and do something with it.
