A parents' protest has saved five historic pōhutukawa trees that had been planned to be axed at Auckland's Campbells Bay School.
The school's board of trustees says the Ministry of Education has agreed to move a planned new classroom block 4.5 metres further back from Aberdeen Rd to leave the pōhutukawa intact.
