Fennel, Grass, and plants

 Today at MLH (moana learning hub) we went down to Hamanatua Stream, AKA our awa. We call it our awa because it is our stream in our pepeha. Three or four years back room 2 planted some native trees down at Hamanatua. Over the years the plants have grown, due to room 2 and later room 1 cutting down the fennel that grows around the plants and mulching the trees and the plants. It has always been hard work, but you feel a sense of accomplishment when it is done. Recently we have strode to make Hamanatua EVEN BETTER we put down some signs and made some brochures of what we have done. I was assigned to down under the bridge, so the trees and plants up the top are the ones I didn't do. Here are some before and after pictures:
