Coroglen School continue traditional annual planting at Hot Water Beach

Coroglen School students continue their traditional annual planting at Hot Water Beach. The school has been planting at the beach for 12 years in conjunction with the Hot Water Beach Reserve Management Group and Smart Environmental. Over the years they have filled the land between the road and the beach as you enter Hot Water Beach. Last Thursday they joined parents and helpers to plant along the new car park and new track leading to the hot pools. They planted out 400 plants including flax and cabbage trees as well as some pohutakawa and puri trees the school had received in the paper for trees scheme, but decided these trees were too big for the school grounds.


Howard Saunders from Smart Environmental talks about Matariki and
the ledgend "eyes of god" and how we celebrate Matariki.
