Trees For Survival

This week our Year 5 / 6 Enviro students travelled to a farm to plant the native trees we've been growing and nurturing since August last year when we first potted them up. 

We always try to plant on a farm and near a waterway as the tree roots stop the soil eroding and soak up excess water.

This year we planted manuka, kānuka, karamu, ti kōuka (cabbage tree), and harakeke (flax). 

We also had the opportunity to see how a real life farm works! 

UPDATE: The Trees for Survival report has been released and details how we planted 674 native trees! 

For the report on which trees we planted see below.
