Rotorua Duck Tours has joined with Tipu Waiariki for native tree planting, on Tarawera Road to the Blue Lake
Rotorua Duck Tours was incredibly proud to partner with Tipu Waiariki on a native tree planting initiative along Tarawera Road on the way to Tikitapu (Blue Lake).
The initiative contributed to restoring local ecosystems and supporting biodiversity in the area. The native plantings enhanced the scenic beauty of this popular route while providing additional habitat for native wildlife.
The project also contributed to the overall health and well-being of the environment, including water quality, while helping to mitigate the effects of climate change – making a significant impact for both the environment and the local community.
Rotorua Duck Tours was thrilled to be part of this effort. We contributed $1 for every person who rode on our Tarawera & Lakes Eco experience, with Tipu Wai matching each contribution. The fundraising began in January 2023, with planting taking place in August 2023. In total, seven thousand native trees and plants were planted, which has had a significant impact on the area – promoting biodiversity, enhancing natural beauty, and aiding in erosion control. The area now looks fantastic.
Following the success of this project, Rotorua Duck Tours continued working with Tipu Waiariki Charitable Trust on additional initiatives to enhance the natural environment.
