Coastal care with Kelly

Tuesday 24th February

Room 9 had a visit from Kelly from the Department of Conservation , to talk  to us about how

to look after the beach and vegetation. She also talked about the sand dunes at the Manawatu

local beaches like Tangimoana, Himatangi and Foxton. The vegetation  was interesting 

because only at Tangimoana there's a little succulent only found  there,  it's not  a New Zealand

flower ! And the other  vegetation at New Zealand beaches are the Toetoe plant the Pingao plant , the spinifex plant [Tumbleweed]  and most common, the marram grass.

We also experienced planting seeds and separating  stalks with the hard ends( which means it has a seed in it)  from the

ones that don't. PLEASE KEEP FROM DRIVING ON SAND DUNES! 

Our W.A.L.T: (We are learning to..)  

Respect our  environment and keep it clean.
