Planting and Clearing Day

On friday the 18th of october room7 from te pahu school,year 7-8 from pirongia, and the lodge helped make an outdoor class room up on pirongia mountain where you get to learn about nature. of course its outside theres no building just you sit outside on seats that were hand made and learn but before all of that happens we had to plant trees! so that was our job planting hundreds of trees first we had to carry all the saplings down a hill we all carryed about 2 saplings each it was a very step hill and the parents sent us back up twice it was tiring after that we dug heaps of holes and planted heaps of trees like cabbage trees flax tea trees etc. there were heaps of blackberrys but i had gloves on so it didnt hurt much. over all it was a great day and i reaaly enjoyed it.
