Caring for Mother Nature

  

Caring for Mother Nature 

We all love mother nature, so us Kakapo class want to be Eco friendly by planting 800 trees out at  lake Gem. We planted Mānuka, Kānuka, Harakeke (flax), cabbage trees, Karaka, and Houpara. All beautiful native plants and trees to New Zealand. We also had help by the lovely people at Summit forest and Bushlands trust.

Then when we got there a nice lady called Karen talked to us about the place and what was so  important about it. Like how the forest was owned by the tribe Te Aupōri Then how four other tribes made a truce and shared the forest with each other 

 (Te Rarawa, Ngati Kuri, Ngati Takoto, Ngati Kahi, and Te Aupōri)

After the talk we got straight into it.  There were people planting and digging even people bringing the plants up the hill (that was tiring if you ask me )

It was a amazing experience and I would love to do it again.
