Tapora School students and local residents dug deep and planted 1350 native trees and plants in wetland on the Taporapora Peninsula on Friday, May 3.

The planting session was a collaboration between the Tapora Land & Coast Care group and Trees for Survival, an environmental education programme that’s been running since 1991.

Tree planting is one of a range of community conservation activities carried out on the peninsula to control pests, improve biodiversity and restore the environment.
