Charlesworth Reserve Planting!

Next week on July 3 we are going to a place called Charlesworth Reserve. Charlesworth Reserve can be located at Bromley, it is a park and gardens in Christchurch. It will take us about 24 minutes to get there or more, depending on traffic. The government in New Zealand has set us a goal to plant 1 billion trees by 2028! They want us to plant trees to improve our land productivity, reduce the effects of climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide. It can also improve our water quality, provide important habitats of a range of native species, enhance natural landscapes, etc.

Charlesworth Reserve is named after "Captain William Charlesworth". He was born at 1814 in Yorkshire at England. Although when an accident happened, William Charlesworth ended up being wounded in the foot by an axe. He then died and was buried 5 days later at the Woolston Cemetery.
