Stop the chop
Kiwis have until August 4th to make an urgent Stop The Chop submission to ask the government to include protection of the Urban Forest in their newly proposed legislation and prevent thousands of trees from being chopped down every week.
Make your submission to help protect urban trees from being removed. Trees take 200 years to grow and 200 seconds to be cut down, please spare 2 minutes to stop that from happening.
