An ecosystem is defined as any “biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment.” But we really like the definition that our old friends at National Geographic use: “An ecosystem is a geographic area where plants, animals, and other organisms, as well as weather and landscapes, work together to form a bubble of life.”

We’ve always said that our plants feel like they’re on a mission and that they feel the urgency like we do. We’ve always said that we’re environmentalists but we don’t tie ourselves to trees, we just keep planting them. Well, we decided that it was time to tell that story and get into serious action with a big vision and an audacious (ambitious) mission.

The number of plants over 25 years was fascinating for us. In a rounded number to the nearest million, Kauri Park have grown 114,000,000 plants for New Zealand.
