Planting sites for the 2024 season included 16,621 linear meters of riparian edge, where vegetation will help to cool water, provide habitat and reduce the movement of silt and nutrients into our waterways. Landowners are required to fence their waterways with some putting in fences after the planting day to allow for ease of access for students. Sedges and grasses make up approx. 31% of the plants grown and planted by TfS schools this season and are essential to the health and stability of riparian zones with flax, toetoe and cabbage tree also tolerating wet roots and swampy conditions.
