PLANTING

On Tuesday we were treated with a day planting, we went to Lake Gem and Lake Ngatu.  when we got there we had the privilege of seeing some Summit people who were planting many native species of trees  such as manuka, kanuka,flax(harakeke, cabbage trees, karaka, houpara and more,  we met Karen from Summit she said some rules then we got straight into it we were away planting making progress, the important  thing was we were working to help make a change in the environment as we were all working together.


We dug some holes and and gently put plants in. We had a whole hill to cover our plants with, we had to make the hole way down it. We had the brilliant view of both lakes as we were in the middle of them. Our plants were covering more and more land, when we were about finished we had morning tea by the lake and then had ice blocks. At the end of the day I definitely felt better for helping the environment maybe if we all help we could end up with a better earth.
