This year, more than 470,000 native seedlings, trees, shrubs and flowers were planted in schools all over the country, and that included Windale Public School’s busy students.
The annual event, organised by Bunnings Belmont, saw spades whipped out by the youngsters and teachers alike in Windale as they turned their school playground into a “green paradise”.
2018’s national-wide event also saw nearly 3,000 nature-care programs registered, including classroom lessons and active bush walks.
