Room Six, Heretaunga Intermediate, approached the Regional Council for a local project to help with, focussing around rubbish collection and waterways. The Hawkes Bay Regional Council helped our platoon to organise mulch spreading around newly planted shrubs, as well as a stream rubbish collection. The area we were assisting in is to become a bike track and family park, upon further development. The mulch was to help protect the plants, and also help to hold moisture in and around the plants during summer time.
