A volunteer army from Queenstown Primary School is giving KAPOW some extra punch.
The school approached the Wakatipu Reforestation Trust last year asking if it needed students to help with one of its native planting projects.
The trust suggested Keeping Arthurs Point’s Original Wildlife (KAPOW), an informal group that’s been restoring and replanting in the Morningstar Reserve since 2018.
The project’s now under way with 140 kids visiting the Department of Conservation reserve
last week to get their hands dirty removing broom and other weeds, spreading mulch, and planting their own shrub or tree.
