Tree+Planting+Day

Tree planting day - Home On the 26th of August all year 9s went to a spot on the rail trail for part of our community service requirements. Some enviromentilist people had organised for to plant over 1000 trees! This went much quicker then I expected it to go and afterwards as a 'thanks for helping' gift they provided us a free lunch. I had never realy done this kind of save our planet kind of thing and it felt good to know that I was making a difference to the world. I found many interesting things whilst planting the trees such as an old rail mechanic, an arrow and many onion weeds (don't taste to great). We worked in pairs planting the trees which made things alot easier as well as the social side. Although it dosn't sound fun, my friends and I had a great time planting trees and would glady do it again. I could have worked harder if I tried but chose not to which I regret as well as not eating so many onion weeds which made me feel sick. Today I learnt that our world dosn't come free and if we all pitch in we can truly make a difference and also that 'many hands make light work'. Over all a great day with lots of laughs, sweat and experiences.
