Holy Moly. This is a substantial load of earth that has moved. Never fear though, nature will repair. We had slips in two gullies, over the years. The first was down from the barn and the the second was a dam giving way under the force of torrential rain. The latter swept huge totara logs (that the previous owner had use to bank the dam with) all the way down the gully taking out other plants and fences along the way. That was about 5 years ago. We cried! But now we have replanted and let nature do the rest. Take care you good good souls.

What a wonderful group of young people – they did great work and no doubt learnt many new skills during their week to remember.
Sorry to hear Tom is still out of action.

Well done all you lucky children, great to get out there with your hands into the soil, and just to think in your lifetimes you could return to to find the beautiful CUE has turned into a beautiful forest alive with native birds and fauna

Hi i am Hugo from Saint Kentigern School class 6KD. I would like to say thank you to Tom and Mahrukh it was a great day and so much fun. Thank you for the food and being so kind to us. I learnt a lot and would love to come again sometime. It is amazing what you are doing. I had lots of friends planting with me, and I think you should bring in heaps of different schools so there will be many trees. P.S thank you for the milo bars.

To Tom and Mahrukh,

Thank you for inviting us to plant on your great farm (big bit of land).

I loved when we found a very big worm it was awesome.

Thank you for the food I loved it and the milo bars they were great.

for inviting us to explore the hills.

Me my mum and my group loved being out for the day.

We think St Kents should come out maybe twice a year that way all the boys in year 6 would have fun. Our mum thought it was great too. We slept well that night. Good Luck from Connor and Anton and their Mum

hi thomas!

my Gregorian birthday falls right next to the hebrew calendar holiday of “the birthday of the trees” named tu bishvat (which is a date).

what you are doing is a celebration of life. so why limit yourself to memorials? how about birthdays and anniversaries and any celebration of life as an occasion to plant a tree?

my son just went to camp today. and he won’t be singing this song because it falls in january… but the lyrics still inspire (just drop the last verse… as it is theist)

It is a tree of life for those who hold fast to it

Return us to you, our God, and we will return (drop)

here is a cool video of the birthday of trees this year “birthday of the tress”

there is even another one more interesting with digital animation. marketing ideas?
