The Great Living Legends Muck-In 2012 - Otago/North Otago

Living Legends is a nationwide community conservation project that was set up in 2011 to commemorate New Zealand’s hosting of Rugby World Cup. Last year we planted 83,000 trees. The target is to plant 170,000 before the end of 2015.

Living Legends will return to Orokonui Scenic Reserve, Blueskin Bay, outside of Dunedin, where last year volunteers successfully planted 5,000 native trees and shrubs. This year we have another 2,500 native trees to get into the ground in a couple of hours so once again we need your help!

Each planting project is dedicated to a regional ‘Rugby Legend’ who was selected in 2011 by their provincial rugby union. These Rugby Legends are people who have made an outstanding contribution to rugby in New Zealand. Come along to a Living Legends event this year and you may be lucky enough to meet your local Rugby Legend! The Rugby Legend for the Otago/North Otago region is Kees Meeuws.
