Bush Walk Experience

Bush Walk Experience

Mafoa: Yesterday we went on an inspirational trip to Arataki to learn about our native forest.We learnt a lot of facts about our native bushes and trees. We got split into two groups I was in Mrs tafas group. One tree that sticked in my mind was the rimu tree. Moses:The rimu tree is a very interesting tree. The leaf can become like a human comb. You can comb your hair with the spikes on the leaf. The kauri tree is the biggest tree in NZ. Tane Mahuta is  one of the oldest trees in NZ. It’s more than 2000 years old.Sadly a fire occurred and Tane Mahuta (Bigger version of tane mahuta) got burnt down. Another plant that caught my eye was Horika. The Horika tree was my favourite tree because it is very intelligent. Its most dangerous predator was the Moa. Alfred:The horika made its plant spiky on the sides so it will be hard to eat. Then it transformed/changed into a juicy and tall plant just to be cheeky to all of the predators. That’s what made it my favourite.
