On 17 June, Whenuakite School set off on an environmentally focused mission. Working with national native restoration organisation Trees for Survival, the group readied themselves to get dirty.
There is a specific kind of madness that belongs solely to the Coromandel Peninsula. It is the quiet, stubborn determination to look at a rugged, clear-felled hillside of raw clay and see a thriving native forest.
This lofty project had its humble beginnings, more than 25 years ago, with a scattering of kauri seedlings in the Kūaotunu garden of Cliff Heraud.
