A Cambridge plant nursery has delivered 17,000 native trees to the people of Tai Rāwhiti, to help repair whole hillsides and planting sites wiped out by Cyclone Gabrielle.

Restore Native plant nursery matched donations dollar for dollar, with the seedlings grown in their Waikato nursery and then distributed around the region last Friday.

Its founder Adam Thompson says it's a drop in the bucket, but every little helps.
