Today we went with Nelmac and planted 100 native plants along the banks of Poorman Stream next to our school. We planted flaxes, kowhai, manuka and some other native bushes.
Our aim is to plant the stream banks in natives to attract birds and provide shade for the stream. Previously there were a lot of self seeded trees that are classed as weeds like plum trees. Nelmac has cleared many of these so we can plant the natives.
The children will be able to watch their trees growing.
