Tree planting at Waitahuna

On Tuesday 16th of May, we left school at 9.30. We all had to go into cars, Room 4 and Room 7. We drove to Waitahuna River which is on Nick's farm. There were some people that were from the Landcare. There were the electric fisherman, Matt from the Department of conservation and some other people. We planted flaxes along the river. We had to dig a hole, then we took the plant out of the black bag and put it in the hole. We wanted to help the eels and the fish that live in the Waitahuna River to have a better, healthier environment to live in. The flaxes are to help the eels to hide. Planting flaxes now will make the river a better environment for a long time. We got into a group of three children and one adult to dig the holes and plant our flaxes. The two classes planted about 200 flaxes.
We did electric fishing and we caught an eel. It was a lamprey eel. My dad touched the eel. We did electric fishing. It can stun the fish.
