Earth Day for the children
EARTH DAY celebrations swept the globe at the end of April. In New Zealand, where Forest and Bird organised events, many of our branches took the opportunity to invite the public along to walks, beach clean ups, field trips and tree planting, while others organised special Earth Day events. Great Barrier Island members weeded out wild ginger, and Otago and Waitaki branches together cleared wilding pines from a proposed reserve near Mt Stalker. In Wellington the branch organised a festival at the zoo, while Auckland branches were involved with festivities which saw Queen St renamed Green St. Many of the branches took on board the theme for the year and approached their local schools with environ-
mental information and various competitions.
