Refresh is committed to making a difference

Refresh is proud to support the Million Meter Streams project and helping reverse the negative effects that farming, forestry habitation have had on our once healthy lowland waterbeds. Find out how far we've come since getting on board with this initiative!

native plant being planted

In March 2018, we became supporters of the Million Metres Streams project. Their mission is to restore the banks of New Zealand’s Waterways one plant at a time. As the name suggests, the plan is to plant one million metres of native trees and plants along the compromised waterways of New Zealand.
This initiative was brought about due to the deteriorating state of our country’s waterways. Forestry, farming, and human habitation activities have cleared the plant life which is necessary to prevent erosion and keep our waterbeds shaded and cool. These changes have disrupted the natural activity of our streams and rivers, and recent statistics show that 62% of our lowland rivers have more pathogens than are safe to swim in. Planting native trees and plants will create shade over lowland waterways which will reverse the process eutrophication and allow our rivers to stay clean, cool, and support an abundance of natural wildlife.
We’ve had an exciting update of the progress so far: As a result of members efforts and donations, the Million Metres project has since planted 5,600 native trees and helped restore 760 meters of New Zealand Waterways in 10 New Zealand Rivers!
