A couple of weeks ago our students were involved in tree planting along the Brook Stream. It had been identified that the condition of the stream had deteriorated over the years and there is very little life left in it. As you may have noticed was also is not very pleasant looking!
This has just changed!
With the help of Canopy Landscapes, The Nelson City Council, Nelmac, The Children of Nelson Central School and Rob and his colleagues at Future Ecology we are transforming the stream from Alton Street to just above the Manuka Street ford.
Canopy is a local landscape architectural company that is keen to support the Enviro Schools Initiative. They are passionate about helping kids learn to care for their environment. They have designed the fabulous landscape plan which has incorporated all the essential requirements for a stream to be a healthy ecosystem!
We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone involved and we look forward to working with and caring for the stream in the future!
Below are some before and during pictures. Please keep an eye out for the after pictures!
