Over 80 volunteers gathered at Coes Ford on September 12 to plant natives and celebrate the 1oth planting to be carried out as part of this project. This project is a great collaboration between WET, SDC, YHA, the Coes and Chamberlains Ford Reserve Management Committee and, in the last couple of years, Enviroschools.

Students from Leeston, Southbridge and Springston Schools joined in the planting and learned about biodiversity. Several larger Totara trees were planted by representatives of the main organisations involved. WET was ably represented by Chair Hamish Rennie and our secretary and Green Footprint supporter Judith Kidd.
