Often while we are on our nature walk we take a bit of time to care for our environment. We like to be kaitiaki of the local pump park and our very own ‘secret forest’. Today we collected 2 rubbish bags full of rubbish and a tyre. The rubbish went into our rubbish bin as lots of it was not recyclable and the tyre will be repurposed at the centre.

Great work tamariki 😊👍
