Year 3/ 4 Adopt a Park #3

 This week our Year 3/4 Enviro students visited William Green Domain for our third trip. 

Today's focus was planting 100 native trees along the river bank.

We planted harakeke (flax), tī kōuka (cabbage tree) and some native grasses. 

It was amazing how quickly and efficiently we got them all in the ground! 

After some lunch and a play we headed back to school.

Sadly we spotted A LOT of rubbish around - we all picked some up on the walk home and easily had enough to fill a bin bag.
