What is Yonks?
Yonks is an experiment of sorts. You can think of it as an online time capsule showcasing the logos/names of choice-as Kiwi businesses or organisations that care about New Zealand’s climate and environment.
New Zealand is home to unique forest ecosystems, including kauri forests, kahikatea swamp forests, pōhutukawa forests and mixed broadleaved forests. Unfortunately, extensive deforestation is destroying forests and threatening our endangered wildlife.
Yonks offers a ‘you scratch our back and we’ll scratch yours‘ system of proudly displaying your business name/logo in exchange for a small fee with the proceeds used to plant more trees.
The idea is simple:
- We provide 100 spaces per region on our website for a total of 1,600 spaces
- You purchase a space and it's yours for life
- We display your logo/name and a link to your business/organisation – forever (or at least until the internet becomes obsolete!)
- In return, we plant one or more trees on behalf of your business/organisation
- You'll receive a certificate of authenticity/support from our tree planting partners
The goal:
- Fill every space with a business/organisation from all NZ regions
- If we can do that, together we'll have planted 9,040 trees in areas where they're needed most
- We (Yonks) will cover the costs to plant a further 860 trees to reach our combined goal of 10,000 trees planted
Who can take part?
- Any business or organisation, big or small, that is based in NZ
- We've made pricing insanely affordable for anyone! See below...
So what does it cost?
Our aim is to get support from businesses all over the country, no matter what size they are or what industry they’re in. Therefore, we’re presenting a really power offer: a lifetime display of your business with trees planted on your behalf.
Spaces start at a once-only payment of just $10 with 1 tree planted. That’s a one-off cost with no additional fees. Prices increase from there, with additional numbers of trees planted for each price point.
Other ways to support the cause.
If you can’t contribute $10 to purchase a space and plant a tree, then the best way to help out is to simply share this page with a friend using the buttons below, and maybe they can get behind the cause.
Claim your space before it disappears, forever!
For as little as $10, you can be a part of something truly special and help us reach our goal of planting 10,000 trees.
Let's keep New Zealand growing for years to come!
