Keep our awa clean

 Today our class wrote a letter to the Gisborne Herald. It was about making our our clean and asking the council to come and load out our grass. I found it hard to think of ways why the council should come in mow the grass. I found it easy to put all my details in on the form.

Down by our school, Saint Marys Gisborne we have a Rerenga Awa.  We are a green gold enviro school. We would really like to grow more native trees down there so that we can try to increase the amount of native birds, insects and tiny creatures in the awa. But, to do this we need the black berry bushes cleared and the banks mowed by the council. Ever since we started planting trees the council has stopped mowing and spraying the black berry bush and grass. I think the council should do their part in keeping on top of their responsibilities so we can keep planting our awa clean.
