We have just received the final $2000 to reach our target on the Tuatara UTV.

We would like to thank the old enemy from Otago, for getting us to our target, from a team of True Canterbury supporters.

We made it! Trees for Canterbury would like to thank every person and business who helped us reach our fundraising goal! Your donation has made a huge difference to our teams capacity and efficiency in planting operations.

Why a Tuatara UTV Electric Vehicle?

This vehicle is not just a means of transportation; it’s a tool that will revolutionize our tree planting efforts. Here’s why we need your support for this acquisition:

Time Saving: The Tuatara UTV will save us valuable time during planting operations. With its increased capacity and speed, we can dedicate more time to potting plants for future planting projects and engaging with donors.

Efficiency with a Smaller Team: Thanks to the vehicle’s capacity and efficiency, we can accomplish more with a smaller team, optimizing our resources and involving more individuals in our reforestation efforts.

Improved Conditions for Volunteers: Currently, our volunteers face challenging conditions while transporting planting materials over rough terrain. The Tuatara UTV will ensure a more comfortable and inclusive experience for volunteers, especially those with physical limitations.

Enhanced Planting Capacity: The vehicle’s capabilities will allow us to double our planting capacity by carrying more crates of plants and the potential to tow a trailer.

Versatility for On-Site Work: The UTV’s tipping deck will facilitate the transport of materials and equipment on-site, making maintenance work more efficient and less strenuous than traditional methods.

All-Weather Reliability: The Tuatara UTV is designed to operate in all weather conditions, ensuring that planting activities can continue without disruptions, even in adverse weather.
