Press Release – Freemasons
Twenty school children from Tamaki Primary School in Panmure, and Freemasons from the Auckland area have planted 800 native trees in a single morning to help prevent erosion on a South Auckland farm.

The project was made possible after The Freemasons Foundation made a substantial donation to the schools-based Trees for Survival programme that grows and plants native trees along waterways and on erosion-prone hillsides.
As well as this financial support, Freemasons also work with local schools to actively help with the planting, thus working in the community on two levels.
