With planting season approaching, we’ve been doing a full stocktake of our Shared Tools & Resources Library — and we’re thrilled to say everything’s in top shape and ready to go!
We’re especially excited to welcome two great additions:🪴 20 brand-new spades, just in time for those winter planting days🔥 A new BBQ, ideal for warming up volunteers and bringing people together after a hard morning’s mahi
These resources are only possible thanks to the generous support of our funders, and we’d like to give a big shoutout to Auckland Council, who made these latest additions possible. Ngā mihi nui! 🙌
Why a Shared Tools & Resources Library?
Restoration mahi often relies on the goodwill and hard work of volunteers. But we know that access to gear — like spades, gloves, gazebos, tables, and even a BBQ — can be the difference between a great event and one that’s hard to run.
Our Shared Tools & Resources Library is here to reduce those barriers. It supports local environmental and community groups by:
Saving time and money
Making events easier to run
Ensuring quality tools are available when they’re needed
Encouraging collaboration and shared care for our whenua
When groups share resources, we’re all stronger. And it’s more sustainable, too.
How to Book
If your group needs gear this season — whether it’s for a planting day, school project, trapping workshop or community BBQ — we’d love to help.

Let’s make this planting season a productive and connected one — supported by great people, great tools, and the power of community. 💚🌱
