Upper Stream Planting

The third big planting effort at the Papatoetoe Stream gets underway tomorrow afternoon. So far there have been over 1000 native plants planted along the stream banks that are providing habitats and a food source for various insects and animal life. We wish to thank Waicare and their support in helping us with this valuable asset to our school and community.

Images of before and after planting will be put up shortly,

Whats been happening

• The Yr10 Ecology teachers have had their classes monitoring;
• The maintenance team has removed willows, so the upper end is open to the sky and young plants are doing well;
• the big privets have gone,
• and Stage 2 is ready for planting next term.
