Arboretum’s grand opening

Three cheers to the re-opened native arboretum at Whitikahu Primary School.

The rural school, between Gordonton and Tauhei, celebrated with a special morning tea and performances from their very own Kapa Haka group, as well as tree plantings and classroom visits.

On a cool and cloudy Waikato morning, Number 8 Network received a great welcome from the gate keepers!

The arboretum, once the site of a flying fox, was designed by a former student.
