One Billion Trees

On the 3rd of July, this term, we will be going to the Charlesworth Reserve. (In CIP)[Community Impact Project], we have been focusing on keeping our native plants alive to preserve our native birds. Our group has been planting native plants and trees around our school so that in several years time we hope to return the native birds around Hornby.

 Now following our movement on planting the trees and trying to prevent further climate change; it was decided that we may help by planting and helping the Charlesworth Reserve. Since New Zealand has been looking into stopping climate change by planting 1 billion trees by 2028. Charlesworth Reserve is named after Captain William Charlesworth who in his retirement bought land on Lyttelton and businesses on there as well; however, his main piece of land is on around Ferry road which was known as the Saxon Farm.
Charlesworth Reserve's goal is to restore the tidal wetland, coastal shrubs and forest. Which are important habitats to the native wetland birds as such as well as bush birds, lizard and native insects.
