Conservation Work Skills teams, including team leader and programme graduate Kiri Ericsson, have planted 7000 trees in the land around Baring Head Lighthouse in the past three years.
When Kiri Ericsson looks out over the sparse land around Baring Head, in her mind she sees a forest. And in 50, perhaps 100 years, East Harbour Regional Park on the furthest point of the Wainuiomata coast will be covered in native trees, a testament to the work of many hands, and a reminder of the way Ericsson turned her own life around. Since 2018, the so-far 50 graduates of Conservation Volunteer NZ’s Conservation Work Skills programme have planted almost 7000 trees on the 33,000-hectare plot of Greater Wellington Regional Council land.
