Tamariki from three schools across Kāpiti took the
future of our environment into their own hands by getting
them dirty at Greater Wellington’s tree planting event in
Queen Elizabeth Park (QEP) as part of the regional
council’s winter planting programme.
Over a hundred
students from Te Rā Waldorf School, Raumati South School,
and Paekākāriki School planted 1,000 native species on the
bank of Whareroa Stream. Their efforts put a significant
dent in Greater Wellington’s mission to plant 400,000
trees across the region this winter.
The day
kicked-off with a warm welcome from Greater Wellington
