Native tree planting - Sunday 19th June 10-12noon, QEII Adventure Nature Trail.
Please join us, Eco Action, 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.
Hope to see you there.
This is the second of four plantings that will see 12,000 eco-sourced, student grown, native plants and trees in the ground: two at QEII 29 May, 19 Jun, Two at Chimera Cresc 21 Aug, 18 Sep. The 20 schools growing plants currently are. Tuahiwi Kura, St Michaels, Rawhiti Primary, SBHS, AGHS, STAC, Linwood College, Rangi Ruru, ChCh South Int, Heaton Int, CGHS, CBHS, Burnside Primary, St Margaret's, Cathedral Grammar, Casebrook Intermediate, Haeata, St Patricks Primary Christ's College. Charles Upham, Ryman Rangiora and Richmond Community Gardens have also recently joined us.
