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.

  1. Hi Room 9

    I have been away in Rotorua for the last week and I thought I would visit your blog site. Wow AJ and Genea I loved reading about how important it is to respect your environment and keep it clean. What other things do you think you need to do to respect the environment and why????
