Yesterday some of our team got the privilege to get our hands dirty and plant trees that our Westpeak clothing purchases have have help funded at Atarau Sanctuary through Tree’s That Count.

One of our environmental projects includes planting trees; partnering with Trees That Count and local organisation Atarau Sanctuary to mitigate (parts of) our carbon footprint over the next 50 years and help protect New Zealand’s threatened biodiversity. That’s good for our carbon footprint, and good for Aotearoa.

We had an awesome afternoon with Ray from the sanctuary and planted 150 tree native trees. The trees planted not only help offset carbon emissions but help protect the endangered Great Spotted Kiwi. There are currently five kiwis within this sanctuary that will be released back into the wild once strong enough to defend for themselves.

Westland Workgears goal is to plant a minimum of 500 trees per year in New Zealand and we are well on our way to achieving this target for 2021.

We have funded 390 trees for this amazing organisation and can't wait to continue to support them with 100's more trees in the near future!

By purchasing Westpeak products you too can help fund native trees to be planted in New Zealand.
