In June 1989, Mooloolah State School won
a World Environment Day award for $500 for their efforts in beginning the rainforest
project. The plan was to plant 400 square metres every year for 15 to 20 years so students
can learn about the function of trees in the environment. -Darcey & Jason, Yr 5, 1999 |
