On Tuesday, Grade 5 walked to the Gulch to meet with Landcare to plant some varieties of native plants to develop some protective vegetation for our precious penguins. The penguins will be able to navigate their way from the water to their burrows under the protection of the new plantings.

On the way we revisited our plantings from last year to see how much they’d grown and are already providing cover for the penguins.

Thankyou to Nisha, Stew, Nigel and Mark from Landcare for teaching us how to plant the plants to give them the best chance of survival.
