Hi Colleen,Coimadai Primary school is a small rural school located just outside Bacchus Marsh. We have 56 students in the school.The school had our tree planting day on the 14^th of August. We planted 150 trees & shrubs in and around our school.Students worked in pairs. Senior students buddied up with the junior students. All staff were involved. Senior students dug the holes for the trees using the larger utilities and the junior students then helped prepare the holes and together they planted the shrubs and placed mulch around them before putting the tree guards in place.Moira Ross | Coimadai Landcare MemberThank you Ben and the team from G.J Gardner Bacchus Marsh for your continued support. In years to come, students from the primary school will be able to swing from the branches of your trees and play chasey around their trunks.Slainte – Colleen [/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]
