Tree Planting

Wednesday 2nd September 2015, Room 15 went tree planting out in Spooners (Coronation Forrest).

First when we got there we were split into group A, B or C.  Zoe and I were in group A.

Then after we got split into groups, group A and B went on the bus and group C stayed at the shelter and measured trees. Group A did tree planting, We used a hoe/grubber to dig with. We planted baby pinus radiata trees while Group C was doing a conservation trail walk.

After we all finished doing our activities we switched activities, Group A went on the conservation trail walk, Group B went and did tree measuring and group C did tree planting.

On the conservation trail walk we learned about a lot of native trees and ate some 'pepper leaf' it was really hot!  We also tried some honey drops off the beach trees, it was a really good walk and it was interesting and we learnt a lot about different types of trees.

After we finished that we had our lunch then we switched activities again and group A went tree measuring group B went on the conservation walk and group C went tree planting.

After all the activities we had a talk and said our farewells.  It was a really good, fun day and we can't wait to do it again!
