Recent Changes

The researchers found that using the flat bed system increased yields by an average of 6 percent, even though 5 percent less water was used for irrigation. This meant that using flat beds instead of ridged rows for potato production led to an overall 12 percent increase in irrigation water use efficiency. The gains were attributed to several factors, especially the probability that planting potatoes in flat beds improves water and nitrogen use efficiency because more water reaches the potato roots.
These findings, which were published in 2011 in the American Journal of Potato Research, could help commercial farmers increase yields and profits, save valuable water resources, and reduce nitrate leaching.

Mine died because it wasn't in properly:(

Saint Joseph's Moorebank
Cumberland plain woodland was their project. Cumberland used to cover most of western sydney until 1788 when the european settlers settled in.There is only two percent of original cumberland plan woodland left. Today it is an important part of western sydney. In the future it will never be the same but if we preserve the plants and animals that live around the area we could possibly regenerate someof the land. the school visited chauvel park researching bad and good things about it. The first tree they noticed in the park was the wattle tree. They found many flora and fauna including centipedes and termites. During the presentation Moorebank had an interactive quiz. they showed us their letter to the council. Following that they had a interesting rap about saving the cumberland woodland. after that they showed us the survey that they sent to all the local residents. After that they showed the beyond the fence goerges river education centre photos which including them in many fun activities. they then presented a video of an interview with Martin Parkinson who talked about the condition of the park. They then gave us tips about how to preserve native areas that are important to the future generations of our world.
At Holsworthy
Their project was looking at creeks and seeing the problems they had
St Christopher read the Lorax and made them think about recycling and reusing
They had a really good song about Wattle Grove Lake
St Christiophers had many tips to help the environment
All Saints Liverpool

Their projects include:
Glenfield Park
They tried to get a vegetable garden for the park.
Hinchinbrook Albury Keech Reserve
They tried to stop graffiti, they did a survey, put up posters and tried to contact the council.
Lighthorse park
St Christopher's at Holsworthy, their project was:
They read the book the Lorax it made them think about how to recycle. they have a vegetable garden and compost bins.
They save water by having 2 water tanks and they have eco-rangers
They have solar pannels
*Harris creek reserve runs down to the Georges river they had an excursion and these are the things they found:invasive species, graffiti, and rubbish and noise pollution.
*they found native flora species eg, Banksia and wattle
*birds and animals common to this area are cokatoo, galah,
*this is a difficult environment for animals to live in
*Harris creek eco rap - save Harris Creek
*Students from their school helped clean up the area on their excursion.
*Pollution in Wattle Grove Lake
*tThey thought of ideas placing signs and bins around the area
they noticed that the water was very polluted
presented their presentation on wattle grove lake-rap save wattle grove lake!
*talk about st christophers school sustainability eco-rangers
they have eco-rangers, waste free lunch, composting, eco meetings.
they had very good eco-tips for everyone to do, energy saving light bulbs, recycle, send letter to council, turn off taps etc
*short video about ecology-saving enerdy reducing pollution, using environmentally friendly products, saving water, planting trees.
