Gladstone Keas 28 November 2017
The Gladstone Keas ventured partway around the Pond Circuit Track using our senses to connect with all the really special NZ native trees and other living things in our community nursery forest - through look, smell, touch and listening. The different leaf shape, colour, smell and roughness; the spotting of seed pods and flowers; and talk about the extinct moa all featured with some awesome theorising and question asking by the Keas.
The potting up groups managed to pot up around 40 cabbage tree seedlings with enthusiasm! The young cabbage tree seedlings look like flax and are brown so quite different from the green trees seen around the pond that are flowering so well at the moment.
A quick run around the freshly mown grass circles expended the last of the Keas energy before they headed home.
