Dozens of natives have been dropped off at Riverina School in Pakuranga courtesy of national environmental programme, Paper 4 Trees.“We supply 28 schools across Auckland and several hundred nationwide with plastic bins, and encourage them through education to recycle their paper and cardboard,” says Benny Thomas, of Paper 4 Trees. “We then reward those schools with native trees.” The programme has won a Green Ribbon Award, which is part of a Government recycling scheme run every year.
