Hurumanu - Charlesworth Reserve

            Native trees - Birds           

Next week for our Hurumanu we as a group decided to help out our community more and go to the Charlesworth Reserve Volunteer Day to plant more native trees. We can plant trees like Rimu, Kauri, Podocarpus Totara, and many more. We all thought this was a great idea to help attract more native birds to our beautiful city. The name Charlesworth came from a man called Captain William Charlesworth who was born in 1814 and died in 1875. Willam ended up being wounded in the foot by an ax. Succumbing to blood poisoning quickly. Willam Charlesworth was buried just five days later at the Woolston Cemetery. We are wanting to plant native trees to attract native birds because for some time they have been disappearing with our lack of respect to our city. Climate Change and pollution have been destroying our plant and wildlife with it. With our help, we can bring the native birds back to Christchurch and plant more trees. With our help, We can stop pollution. With our help, we can change Christchurch for the better of the Earth.
