This week, in partnership with the Te Mata Park trust, the Te Mata Estate team and their families volunteered their time to plant over 400 native plants and trees along the Chambers Walk at the Te Mata Park.
As well as being our namesake, our deep connection to Te Mata Peak traces back to the Chambers family, who founded Te Mata Estate in 1896. As a memorial to their father, John Chambers’ sons gifted a 242 acre reserve, including Te Mata peak, to the people of Hawke’s Bay in 1927 and set up a charitable trust to maintain the land for the community to enjoy.
It was a great opportunity to support the local community and help take care of this precious resource for the next generation.
