WHAT CAN YOU WIN?
When you join the Tree People and complete Pledges, you get a chance to win fantastic prizes.
Every couple of weeks until the end of June 2009, the Kōkako will visit eight trees. It will choose trees owned by people who have completed at least one pledge in the previous fortnight. If the Kōkako visits your tree you win an instant prize. It could be a mountain bike, an SD movie camera, movie vouchers or something else that the Kōkako has in its prize bag.
Every few months until the end of June 2009, we'll award even better prizes. These are big packages called the Tāne.
There is only one Tāne winner for each competition round, and judges will select that winner after careful deliberation. The Tāne prize packs are not only for the owner of the winning tree, but also for their school. (If you've finished school, you could nominate your local school to get the prize, or the school you went to as a child.)
Every two weeks, from 26 May 2008 until 30 June 2009, eight lucky people will get an email telling them that they've won one of the prizes listed below. To be eligible for the Kōkako Prize Draw you need to have completed a pledge within the fortnight before the draw is made. The prizes include:
The locally-designed adventure bike is designed to get you out in the great outdoors. Take a trip off-road, get close to nature and lift your heart rate! Raleigh bikes are designed specifically for New Zealand conditions with an emphasis on comfort and safety.
This stylish black SD movie camera boasts features such as Optical Image Stabilisation, a sizeable 70x optical zoom and a sleek and compact form. It’s the ideal travel companion meaning you’ll never miss a shot.
We all know that we need to reduce plastic bag use, but sometimes it's hard to remember to take your reusable bags with you. These pink stunners are hard to miss, and are exclusive to Foodtown and Woolworths supermarkets.
Grab a friend and catch the latest blockbuster at New Zealand's largest and leading cinema chain! With 96 cinema screens across 13 complexes, you've got a great range of locations to choose from.
In May 2009, we announced the next winner of our major prize The Tāne. Judging focused on several factors, including the height of the tree, the number of Pledges completed, and the number of Friends.

Scott Mansfield and his school Kaikoura High School
December 2008 Tāne Winner:
Chloe Belfield and her school Te Waotu School
May 2009 Tāne Winner:

With the support of HP New Zealand - it could be new machines for the computer lab. New software to enhance students' creativity and productivity. Or accessories such as printers and scanners to help spread the good word. Whatever your school needs, here's $10,000 to spend on the latest HP technology.
Every dollar saved on overheads such as heating and lighting means a vital extra dollar for the education budget. For most schools, an energy audit will reveal practical, easy-to-implement energy-saving measures. And when the audit's free, it's an even better deal!
