How to plant a tree
New Zealand needs more trees for there native birds to live in otherwise they will go extinct. At Coes Ford, Burnham School planted over 600 trees for our wildlife. I am going to tell you you how to plant a tree.

Firstly you will need to dig a hole big enough to fit your plant and fertilizer pill in.once you have dug your hole you need to put your fertilizer pill in the side of your hole then cover it with soil. Then you plant your tree. you plant by pressing lightly around the pot then putting your fingers around the tree trunk and tipping it upside down carefully and when it comes out put the plant back right way up and then put your tree in the hole.

Now you have to stomp around your plant to make sure there are no air pockets in the ground, so when it rains your plant won't sink.

Next wrap your blanket around your tree by putting it in each cut in the
blanket.

Then put one bamboo stick in one of the holes in the blanket.then put the plastic sleeve around the bamboo stick and the tree.next put the other three bamboo sticks inside the plastic sleeve and into the other three holes.

Now you have finished planting your tree.your tree will need to be watered to help the trees growth.
