Campbell's Bay Community Forest
Our forest now
This is the edge of our forest as you walk down to Peter Terrace.
Our forest is 1.5 hectares in the south-east corner of the school. You go right to the back of the school and down the hill. You can't see it from the road very well, but you can see it from some of the classrooms, when you look out towards Rangitoto Island over the water. If you don't know how big 1.5 hectares is, it's really big, much bigger than a football field.
This is a picture taken from a plane. It was taken a few years ago, but shows where our forest is. We have more buildings now.
We have lots of tracks in our forest now. They are called :
- Kereru Track
- Kowhai Grove
- Rimu Track
- Tui Trail
- Pukeko Loop
- Piwakawaka Track
Can you guess how many planks there are on our board walk? Nastassia counted them. There are
1,734 planks.
We challenge everyone walking in our forest to count the planks and see if she is right. Our forest is home to many birds and trees and it is a lovely place to walk in. The forest is a green, moist, little tiny forest and it is great for our school.
