Protecting, promoting and enhancing local native vegetation and supporting people with a passion for plants
In 1989, a small group of like-minded people gathered at a public meeting with the simple goal to plant more trees in Newcastle. The group agreed to focus on native plants.
Before long they decided to grow local native plants collected from local seed. They saw themselves as pioneers and called the group Trees In Newcastle (friends call us TIN).
