Enviro Kids Update

Lynda Bardwell —

On Thursday 26th July the Enviro kids walked up to the local church to meet with Brendan and Catherine from the DCC.

We are excited to be involved with other groups from our community working on ideas to beautify our local stream. 

 We found out that over 160 years ago the original Wakari School was situated on the opposite side of the road beside the stream, and that the stream's name was School Stream!

In a fortnight we are meeting with Brendan and Catherine again, and will be looking at some of the different plants around the stream trying to find out which of them are native and which of them have been introduced to New Zealand.  Catherine will also teach us about some of the uses of these plants.  We will keep you posted!
