Mangere tamariki celebrate trees through art 🌳🎨

Local tamariki are helping raise awareness of the importance of urban trees through a creative new project in Mangere 👇

The Growing Respect: Mangere Trees initiative brought together students from Moanaroa School and tamariki attending after-school care at Māngere Community Centre to learn about the role trees play in creating healthy, thriving neighbourhoods.

Through a series of workshops, participants explored the many benefits of urban trees, including providing shade, improving air quality and supporting local biodiversity. They then turned their learning into artwork designed to encourage care and respect for trees in their community.
