Years 9 and 10 Building Brigdes geography excursion

Year 9/10 geography students joined 31 volunteers from North Sydney Bushland Team from Friday 7 to Sunday 9 September 2018 for their  annual trip to Boorowa to plant trees and shrubs to provide habitat for local wildlife, including the Superb Parrot.

The North Sydney volunteers  started their journey early Friday morning, 7:00am sharp, a convoy of two buses and two cars headed south across the Harbour Bridge to Boorowa.  On arrival to Boorowa  all had a quick lunch break then headed straight out to sites to get the planting underway.

Linda Cavanagh – Boorowa Community Landcare Group Coordinator and Heather McLeod – BCLG led the group out to Chris and Ingrid Corcorans property, Ballagh, where they planted 880 plants.  The Boorowa students helped with this planting and enjoyed a substantial amount of the wonderful afternoon tea put on by our hosts. The volunteers went on to plant  approximately 4695 plants​ on various properties around the Boorowa district. 

The Building Bridges to Boorowa Program is a unique opportunity for city dwellers to influence environmental issues of national significance .Every year for the past 19 years, around 30 Sydney-based volunteers have traveled to Boorowa, to lend a hand to local Landcarers and farmers. The volunteers plant native trees, shrubs and groundcovers to create wildlife corridors and address environmental degradation such as erosion and salinity.

Our students in joining this group have helped shape the ecological and social fabric by learning about how we can help provide habitat for the  vulnerable Superb Parrot (Polytelis swainsonii)​ and meet and work alongside voltunteers from Sydney.  This was a reciprocal excursion of the Building Bridges to Boorowa trip to North Sydney earlier this year.

Boorowa Central is very appreciative of the sponsorship that it has received from Boorowa Landcare and Sydney Bushcare to enable our students to be part of the Building bridges initiative.
