On Friday, students from C1 homeroom braved the rain and walked to the Hepburn Heights Conservation Area to help The Friends of Hepburn & Pinnaroo Bushland with their annual native shrub planting. City of Joondalup and Friends group representatives spoke to the students about the importance of urban bushland areas to preserve native flora and fauna, and how voluntary groups play a vital role in protecting and rehabilitating the bushland and conserving biodiversity. They then joined forces in planting around 200 seedlings. Students hope to return later in the year to check on the progress of their plants.
