Trans Ed Green Thumbs

As part of the Work Skills program, a group of Transitional Education Students travel out to the Tasmanian Arboretum at Eugenana each week.

They are involved in tree planting, with over 100 trees planted so far this year. The group is also responsible for mulching, path clearing and general maintenance tasks.

Recently, they have been tasked with putting in a section of drainage system on a steep hillside. This has involved putting together the drainage crates, digging the trench, and using a string line to make sure it is straight, and then installing the drain and making sure it is all level.

The boys have worked exceptionally well on this task, with excellent results.
