 This year Triangle Television, the sister channel of Stratos, has been on air for 10 years in Auckland.
To celebrate this milestone we have decided to encourage our viewers and supporters to join us in establishing a stand of Pohutukawa trees in Home Bay on Motutapu Island in our name.
In years gone by Home Bay was a favourite place for one-day outings from Auckland, but gradually the focus of the Island became farming.
The tide is turning, and with the efforts of the Motutapu Island Trust and in association with the Department of Conservation, the Island is being replanted and the public is being encouraged to once again enjoy the facilities that are being gradually provided.
Home Bay has been a great camping ground, but now lacks shade and a focus. The Triangle Television Anniversary Project aims to help rectify this for future generations, so that once again, in the height of summer, the Bay will abound with crimson for a few weeks.
Not only will the trees be used as a focus for recreational purposes they will provide great soil conservation, an on-going source of seed for future plantings across the Gulf, as well as helping make Triangle Television, as a broadcaster, carbon-neutral.
We have established a number of ways to make it easy for you to participate: we have established a phone in 0900 line as well as options to pay by credit card and online banking. All funds received will be handed directly to the Motutapu Trust, and tagged as a donation to purchase Pohutukawa trees, specifically for the Triangle Television Forest in Home Bay.
On behalf of Triangle Television, its Trustees and Staff I would like to invite you to help us in this initial phase.
A tree costs just $ 50.00 - a small price to pay for the future enjoyment that The Triangle Television Pohutukawa Forest will provide to our community in the future.
On behalf of everyone involved with the Station I would like to express our sincere thanks and gratitude for your generosity and help with this project.
