Impact: 403 native seedlings planted at Catchpool

The 403 trees planted will join the fabulous biodiversity already thriving at Catchpool in recent warm rain, joining the existing biodiversity.

Standout moments & community spirit

Record-breaking youth

11-year-old Flynn van Dam became the youngest ever top planter, smashing expectations with 20 seedlings planted. Proof that the next generation is ready to lead on environmental action – and that strategic school absence can sometimes pay dividends for the planet!

Collaboration champions

The Hive Team took home the best collaboration prize and well-earned beanies for winter warmth. Special recognition also goes to Jess and Anton for bringing exceptional energy and teamwork throughout the day.

Connections that matter

The day sparked meaningful reconnections that went beyond just planting trees. Jason and Phil, old friends turned into "planting machines" as they reunited over seedlings. Former colleagues Katherine and Steve rediscovered their connection while creating new growth in the valley.

Wellington business community

The diverse mix of businesses and individuals showcased the collaborative spirit that makes Wellington special. From established companies to solo participants, everyone contributed to the collective energy that made this day memorable.

The Wellington Community Planting Day proved that when this city comes together for a common cause, the results speak for themselves: 403 new trees, countless new connections, and a stronger community committed to environmental action.
