I had a guided tour of the gully at the back of Hukanui School that they have been clearing and replanting with eco sourced native plants for over 10 years. They grow their own seedlings in a specially constructed nursery on the school grounds. Other plants are supplied by Hamilton City Council. The gully is used by the school children as a recreation wildness area as well as the restoration as a resource for school projects.
I was shown through the eco class room. Now this was impressive. It has been designed as a teaching resource as well as being used as a class room so there are a number of inbuilt monitoring devices to help children doing their environmental projects.
