Tree Planting

Today we went to Duders Regional Park to help plant some native trees.  Mags was the park ranger who gave us tips on how to plant these trees.  She was helped by Laura, Rebecca and Mr Duder.   We also had some amazing parents who transported us in their cars.   We planted manuka, flax, coprosma, and kanuka.  The land was quite steep which made it tricky in parts to not slip.

We worked really hard to plant heaps of trees - maybe over 100 in total so we were extremely hungry when we stopped for morning tea.  

It's going to be wonderful to walk through the park in 20 years time and say "I helped to plant all those trees."

  1. Tree planting was really fun, but unfortunately, it was a long walk from the cars to the planting site. And there was poo everywhere along the path to the planting site!
