There's been quite a lot happening since I Iast posted.
We've started a new term in New Zealand and we are already getting straight in to it. As well as carrying on planting the smaller specimen trees one of the planting groups was given the task to go to the native plants nursery and buy some bigger trees for us to plant. Plants that will blend in and attract wild life and will also help shelter the smaller trees and give them a head start to grow.
Now we have planted half of them and have still more to plant. It was a little difficult because the rain from a few days before had made the ground muddy and slippery which made a bit hard for us to stay on our feet when we were digging - but we managed it.

As you can see from the photos, we have finished our sign which looks fantastic. Until we have decided on a spot where it can be put up and seen by people coming to Aranui Park, the sign will be stored in the Mapua School admin lobby so everybody can see it.
So as you can see there has been a lot hard work and effort put into Tane's Ark and still more to come but we are starting to see the impact and help that it has been to the wetland and the wild life. So all we need to do now is to keep looking at the big picture and keep working the way we are.
And just keep having fun!.
Here are some photos to let you see the improvements and the newly created sign.
