School Testimonials:
Dear Karen,
I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful day experienced by our 10 Green Team members from Marsden Road Public School though I organised the trip, I sent the other Green Team leader with the children.
They all had a fantastic day and very capably planted 200 trees. Many of these children live in flats and don't have much interaction with the environment. At school we are planting a rainforest garden and these students love planting, mulching and watering. They couldn't wait to tell everyone about how much fun they had on Friday. Keep us in mind if you have any more planting days!
regards,
Eva Punch

You can download some documents which give information about the critically endangered Cumberland Plain Woodland which your students will be helping to restore within the Parklands, as well as wildlife which makes the Parklands their home.
