Burnside High School’s (pre-European settlement) Cabbage trees

I know, I know, I’ve been banging on about Christchurch’s Heritage & Notable Trees and my support for the Give A Little, that’s supported the team, that’s supported the trees, for the best part of a year — on and off, anyway!

But the long and the short of it is that Give A Little (as supported by the Spark Foundation) are having a Giving Tuesday — so I thought I should put out the word one more time for the trees, for the team, and for the Give A  Little.

Lime Avenue, planted ca. 1932

Mainly because although Team Trees have hung in there and done sterling work for the trees and the landscape character of the Garden City (aka Christchurch) there’s still a wee way to go on the Give A Little.

So it would be wonderful if “..on Anything, Really” readers could “get in behind” and support the cause:

• with a #GivingTuesday donation to the Save Christchurch’s Heritage Trees campaign if you have not given already;

and if you have by

• 

  Pohutakawa, Sumner

  spreading the word via your own website or social media platform

Here’s a suggested message:
