TREES FOR SURVIVAL
Trees for survival is an ongoing programme in the education of our students at Glenbrook School. We are part of a generation who realises the huge impact humans have had on our Earth and its resources. Trees for Survival is an important component of Education for Sustainability.
The Year 5 and 6 children and Mrs Kearney, will be the group participating in the programme for 2011. Their first key activity is a trip up the Awhitu Peninsula to collect native seeds for planting. This day is scheduled for 16th March.
The children are then responsible for caring for the seedlings until they are planted out on a local farm.
When the trees are bigger we are going to plant them on farms.
The Glenbrook Steel Mill sponsored this environmental project, providing the funds for the fencing and the growing unit. Thanks Glenbrook Steel Mill!
