Resources

We’ve pulled together a wealth of resources about native trees over the years, you’ll find most of it on our Trees That Count site. From learning about particular native trees through to all the info you need to know on planting natives.

Our Fact Sheets below are useful resources for schools or community groups with quick facts about the pōhutukawa and rātā species.
