How to plant a tree

At Coes Ford they plant a variety of trees such as totora, kowhai and more. They do this to get birds back into the area. This is how to plant a tree.
First you have to dig a square hole big enough to fit the plant.

Second you have to have to place the fertilizer tablet in and cover with dirt,the tablet is used to increase the plants growth.

Now you need to take the plant out of the pot. If it gets stuck you need to apply pressure. Now you need to carefully place the plant in the hole, then cover with all the dirt.

You need to get the blankets and put it around the tree. This helps to keep the weeds away and vermon. Then you put one bamboo stick in the ground and slip the sleeve over the plant. Then put the other three bamboo sticks into the sleeve.

At the end of the day I felt good to be helping.
