Schools’ Tree Day

2016 In a light drizzle (perfect for planting!) the Year 2’s

walked to Lynden Park in Camberwell to

participate in Schools’ Tree Day 2016. It was lovely

to have so many parents with younger siblings join

us for the walk or meet us at or location at the

back of Nazareth Aged

Care in Camberwell.

Rob Brierley from Friends’

of Back Creek coordinated

the planting, assisted by

Adrian and Peter from

Boroondara Council, who

brought many indigenous

plants in tubes. They showed us how to use the “pogo stick”

diggers to make a hole, carefully remove the plant from the pot, and plant the tube stock firmly

in the ground.

Ably assisted by parents,

the children cooperatively

shared the roles to plant

boxes of tube stock.

Chocolate cake and a drink

revived our energy for the

walk back to school, along

the pathway to see how plants established in previous School Tree days were flourishing. How

special that students from Wattle Park have been involved for the past fifteen years.

We are all looking forward to our sixteenth year in 2017!
