The Duke and Duchess of Sussex visited Redvale, on the North Shore, this morning to kick off the third day of their royal tour of the country.
While there, the royals helped dedicate a 20-hectare area of native bush to the Queen's Commonwealth Canopy (QCC).
After unveiling a plaque, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex heard more about the ecological importance of the native bush.
Prince Harry and Meghan then showed off their more competitive streak as they competed in a gumboot throwing contest with children from the 'Trees in Survival' group, which Meghan won.
The Duchess appeared triumphant as she held her gumboot trophy.
While there, the royals also took part in tree planting.
Prince Harry planted a puriri tree, while Meghan planted a kōwhai.
After the tree was successfully planted, the Duke high-fived a local school student who was tasked with helping him.
Afterwards, the Duke and Duchess joined Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern on a visit to Pillars, a nationwide charity which helps support children who have a parent in prison, and a public walk through Auckland's Viaduct Harbour.
