Last Thursday, the Nature Nuts planted shrubs around the cross-country track as part of National Tree Day.

The shrubs are a boundary for the new section of the walking and running track. They are also there to improve the natural environment. All the shrubs are Tasmanian Natives and are shelter for animals like bandicoots. They provide food and attract pollinating insects and birds. We are hoping the plants will grow and improve the biodiversity of the area.

Quotes from students,

“I like growing native plants!”

“I like working in nature and helping the environment.”

“I like working in nature.”

“I like planting things.”

“I like knowing I am helping the planet!”

“I like being outside and working hard”

“I like working as a team.”

Students will be planting more in the coming weeks. Please be mindful of the tree covers and stakes that are used to protect the young plants.
