Rathkeale College students recently helped plant 1200 manuka plugs alongside the Kiriwhakapa Steam at the Matt and Lynley Wyeth’s Ratanui Farm northwest of Masterton, creating eco-corridors of native plants that will, in turn, provide shade for the streams, healthier habitats for fish and native birds, and cleaner water for those downstream.
Students got stuck into a two-day restoration programme in the lowland forest wetland area around Rathkeale College this week — all made possible thanks to support from the Ruamahanga Restoration Trust, along with funding assistance from Eastern & Central Community Trust.
Our first day of restoration work, proudly supporting “Schools Behind Our River“.
