Marshall Laing Primary - work on our our Nature Trail

  • Project number: 111
  • Location: Auckland Central

Clearing agapanthus, pokers and other weeds from the Nature trail that is being developed on two boundaries of our school. Also to cut down privet and remove dead branches and other rubbish.

How this project will benefit the community

This trail is introducing our community to NZ natives and will in the future encourage native birds and insects back into the area.
The children at our school can learn about Natives and Native wildlife without the cost of travelling away.
