Every year Papawai & Kaikōkirikiri Trusts scholarship recipients and their whānau are invited to contribute to the improvement of the whenua through riparian planting on the leased farms and industrial lands that the revenue for the Trust and scholarships come from. This year they met mid-July at Papawai Farm in Greytown. Adorned with hats, coats, gumboots, spades and heaps of enthusiasm, their goal was to plant about 400 native species which they accomplished in under two hours. As well as the smaller natives planted along the waterway there was a grove of larger trees such as kahikatea, rimu, titoki and totara to be planted. Don Bell from Carbon Natural has been associated with the Trusts planting days for many years. He had spot-sprayed the area a few weeks earlier to kill the weeds and
provide a clear space to dig and plant. It was a great morning that ended with a hot drink and home-made baking. It is clear from those that attend the planting days that whànau support the practice of taking care of our environment.
Ko te whenua te waiu mō ngā uri whakatipu The land will provide sustenance for future generations.
