Nelson Tasman

Paper4trees was first introduced to the Nelson Tasman Region in 2008.

Since then, a total of 56 schools and preschools have joined Paper4trees!
That is the equivalent to 82% of all Nelson Tasman schools and 9% of all Nelson/ Tasman preschools. 
 

Between 2007 and 2025, Nelson and Tasman schools and preschools have:

​

• Diverted 1,976 tonnes of paper and cardboard from landfill
               - That's around the same as 422 elephants!

• Saved 15,815 cubic metres of landfill space

• Prevented 10,674 tonnes of carbon dioxide from being created in landfill

Isn't this an amazing effort? We think so, which is why we have rewarded Nelson Tasman schools and preschools with a total of...

5,989 native trees! to plant in their school grounds or within their local community.
