NEXT TIME you stroll around<br />
Foster Park in Rolleston you<br />
may notice some changes to the<br />
south-east corner.<br />
Pupils from Rolleston Christian<br />
School and Broadfield<br />
School recently planted 600<br />
native seedlings there over two<br />
days.<br />
The park is one of several areas<br />
around <strong>Selwyn</strong> where schoolchildren<br />
have been taking part<br />
in Kids’ Discovery Plant-Out<br />
days.<br />
Other recent plant-out days<br />
involved Springston School<br />
pupils planting 500 seedlings at<br />
Chamberlains Ford and West<br />
Melton School pupils planting<br />
300 seedlings at Kowhai Reserve.<br />
As well as beautifying the areas,<br />
these plantings will provide<br />
habitat for native birds, invertebrates<br />
and lizards.<br />
The plant-out days are a<br />
collaborative project between<br />
the Te Ara Kakariki Greenway<br />
Canterbury Trust, Enviroschools<br />
and the district council which<br />
began last year. They are held<br />
in autumn and spring. Other<br />
supporters of the project include<br />
the Department of Conservation,<br />
the Rata Foundation and<br />
Whakaora Te Waihora.<br />
As well as carrying out the<br />
plantings, the pupils learn about<br />
native biodiversity with local<br />
experts.<br />

the Foster Park plant-out days,<br />
