This week we have accomplished our mission and has visited Charlesworth Reserve. It was around half past 9 when we started to head for the bus; 3 classes were joined together on this project, to help plant native plants around Charlesworth Reserve. For this term in CIP, we have been aiming to help our environment and to be able to bring the native plants that were once thriving in New Zealand. That is the reason that we went to Charlesworth Reserve; not only that we had to bring the native birds back but to build habitats for the immigrating birds that would come to here as well. In the Reserve [wetland], we were taught the best area that we would plant 2 types of rushes and 2 other types of plants as well. The rushes were mainly placed and planted on around the sandy and wet part of the land.
Andrew, who was the who was one of the people that take care of the reserve discussed with us the proper way of how to plant them, as well as teaching us that we should plant these rushes in the sand rather than the clay layer. The reserve had been aiming to plant approximately 100,000 plants in the area; in the duration of our visit, we planted around 200 of them. The area had a history of being a Plainfield, though it was supposed to be an area to be built a building on. But was then organized to be a wetland to help the native plants and birds, rather than being a building or a school. They took measures in taking the field and getting it to be partly submerged in seawater.
We've learnt quite a few about planting while we were in the reserve, from my point of view at least contributed to the goal that the reserve was aiming for. Though we might need to plant a lot more trees globally the progress is being done and saving the Earth is on the way.
