Eco Action - Native Tree Planting This Weekend

CGHS Publication —

Please join Eco Action on Sunday 29th May from 10am -12 noon on the QEII Adventure Nature Trail and help our students and their communities plant 3000 native trees and plants they have grown.

Great atmosphere with heaps of fellow student and parent enthusiasts. Please bring some drinking water, solid footwear and your favorite spade if you have one. There will be 450 spades on site, so no excuses, everyone can help. The more the merrier.

Help our community help itself by developing this community asset that will last for generations to come. The grown forest will provide habitat and food for native birds and lizards as well as sequester carbon to help with global climate change. It's also quite fun to plant a few plants.

We hope to see you there. Look for the Christchurch Girls' High School / Te Kura o Hine Wiaora flag.

This is the first of four plantings that will see 12,000 eco-sourced, student grown, native plants and trees in the ground: two at QEII on 29 May and 19 June, and two at Chimera Crescent on 21 August and 18 September 2022.
