It was cold, it was windy, but that wasn't enough to deter local students from lending a hand at the community bike park.
On Friday, students from Whanganui Intermediate School and St Anne's School helped plant nearly 600 native plants on the hills and paths surrounding the bike track.

Jody Brunger said she wanted to get local children involved in helping with the track, which is located next to the Splash Centre at Springvale Park, London St.
"The plants will make the track look nicer - but they also have the more important function of maintaining the shape of the track," Ms Brunger said.
The plants were donated from Parnell's Garden Centre, Springvale Garden Centre, Whanganui District Council and Whanganui Prison.
