Whangārei school students and other volunteers will help plant 700 trees on the banks of a city stream tomorrow.
Waiarohia Stream, which runs through Whangārei, will be gain the new saplings along a section of the stream bank.
The planting is another step in the Arohatia Waiarohia (Love Waiarohia) project that aims to tidy up the stream and keep the waterway healthy.
The project is a collaboration between Manaia Health PHO, Whangārei Intermediate School, Whangārei Boys High School, Whangārei District Council, Northland Regional Council, and Enviroschools.
Whangārei Intermediate School Specialist Team Leader and Environmental Coordinator Tom Peyton has been the major driver behind the project.
