For habitat highlights Resene has donated 500 native trees to Trees That Count to help regenerate our native forests. This adds to the many thousands of native trees Resene and Resene Eco.Decorators have donated since 2020.

Printed copies of habitat highlights are available from late March 2024 at Resene ColorShops and resellers, while stocks last. You can view back issues of habitat magazine online.

If you have an idea, project or story that you think would suit habitat, we'd love to hear from you. Please drop us an email with your details and include photos if submitting a project.
