Local Schools Have Planting Power

Around 150 students from Te Kura Kaupapa Maori o Bernard Fergusson and Glen Massey schools turned out for two planting days at the Hakarimata A Extension project in May.

The students planted around 1100 plants, using eco-sourced natives including Cyperus ustulatus, Carex secta (Purei), Mahoe Melicytus ramifloru, Karamu coprosma robusta, Ribbonwood Plagianthus regius, Kanuka Kunzea ericoides and Harakeke Phormium tenax

With the balance of the current planting completed by local contractors at the end of May, this site is looking fantastic.
