| Motuihe Island is just 16
km from Auckland. It is a stunning small island with beautiful
beaches all around. 60 CCET members joined the volunteer
work on 10 August was the biggest group of Chinese that
ever visited the island.
On the day, our members helped to plant trees and transplant
the seedlings. We found that the seedling needs 3-5
years special care to grow into a small tree. Next time
when you help in any tree plantings, make sure that
you plant the young trees properly so that they can
grow up. After lunch John Lawrence (Chairperson of the
Motuihe Trust) led us to pick the seeds of Taraire and
scatter onto the other side of the valley. He told us
that the seeds will germinate and grow into a new tree.
This was a new experience to our members.
A donation of $223 has been made by the members to
the Motuihe Trust. Thank you to the members’ generosity.
