Otari School Fence

I have been working with students at Otari School in Wellington on developing ideas for their fence. The fence stops children wandering on to the entrance road to the School, but it means that it also provides a visual barrier to their neighbours Otari Bush Reserve. So we will be look at ideas to reconnect with the bush as well as using the fence for play, learning, growing, music and a number of other ideas.

The ideas will be developed and refined over the next term and we hope to start raising funds as the project grows, to implement the student's plans.

Singing Trees

A chance discovery of sound from a tree, so I wonder if different tree species make distinct sounds? If they did then we could explore forests through the sound the trees make, unless it was a plantation of a single species then it might get a little boring.
