Bushy Point Living Legends 2013 Plantings

24 August 2013

The Southland planting for 2013 will take place at Bushy Point near Otatara on Saturday 24th August. We’ve got 3,500 trees to plant in a couple of hours, with a 9am kick off. Our Rugby Legends joined thousands of Kiwis to plant almost 130,000 native trees throughout New Zealand at our “Great Living Legends Muck Ins” during the Rugby World Cup tour in 2011, and again in 2012. We’re returning this year to get the final 40,000 trees in the ground so come and join us!
