This is just the beginning of our project which will revitalise the Lyal Kuhne Arboretum. The students enjoyed getting their hands dirty in the mud and learning about the importance of planting trees for all of the animals and the benefits to the community. Thanks to the support of the Communities Environment Program through the Department of the Environment and Energy. Melissa Price MP Stacey Hudson Lizzie King
