Fergus Mullen and Cooper get the soil ready for tree planting. Students from PLC in Sydney will learn all about the region from St Joseph's students in September.
Our students from 5/6 also travelled out to a local property to plant some trees.
At the site the students met Mr. Rob Young and learnt about the importance of planting trees in the rural setting.
Students from St Joseph's School Boorowa plough a paddock in preparation of planting trees. The students planted around 250 trees on the property.
The trees are used for protection of crops and stock from all sorts of weather conditions, provide nutrients and encourage fungus growth. They then spent the day planting 250 trees.
It was an incredible experience and one the Year Six students will share with PLC when they come to Boorowa in September.
