Trees for Survival is a charitable trust, which works with over 150 schools and local communities across New Zealand, to grow and plant native trees along waterways and on erosion prone hillsides.

Their environmental education programme provides an opportunity for school children to make a practical difference to their environment as well as learn about conservation, revegetation, wetland restoration and protecting stream quality.

On Tuesday 5 September, Mrs Blair, Miss Young, 40 Year 5 and 6 students and 4 parent helpers walked down to West Harbour Marina and planted 550 native New Zealand trees!

Thank you to the parents who went with the students and helped with the planting.  We had a very successful day!
