Local students do their part for the environment

More than 100 kids from Clare Valley schools braved cold and windy weather to plant almost 2,500 seedlings for National Tree Day.

This was part of the Clare Valley Biodiversity Blitz led by Mid North local Sarah Castine with the vision to bring farmers, schools and communities together to build biodiversity on farms for better climate resilience.

Almost 2,500 native seedlings were planted across farms at Polish Hill River, Leasingham and Kybunga.
