Tree planting ceremony to mark King's Coronation

2 May 2023, 3:45 PM

A special Tree Planting ceremony will be held at Redwood Park in Te Kūiti this Saturday to mark the Coronation of His Majesty King Charles III.
The Coronation will be marked in a similar way by most councils across Aotearoa to signify the start of a nationwide million-dollar planting effort, which aligns with the King’s many commitments to conservation and sustainability.
A commemorative plaque will also be unveiled to mark the occasion.
Commencing at 11am on Saturday 6 May 2023, guests are asked to gather shortly before in preparation for the opening Karakia.
We encourage our community to come along and acknowledge this significant ceremony.
