Vanuatu Bislama Language Week planting day

27 July 2025

Christchurch City Council Park Ranger and two people wheeling wheelbarrows full of plants across frosty grass on a planting day for Vanuatu Bislama Language Week.

Contributors note: "This photo was taken during Bislama Language Week, organized by the Vanuatu Community, under the powerful slogan: “Talk about climate change — it is real, and we must look after life.” The event took place on a crisp, frosty morning with support from the Christchurch City Council and its dedicated Park Ranger staff. Together, they proudly contributed to nature by planting new plants and trees in a marshland area, helping to establish more greenery and raise awareness about climate action."
