It's a bit hard to have a junior rangers program in Pulu-Keeling National Park, when you can only get out there in good weather - but Pulu Keeling National Park ranger Trish Flores is doing her best to engage the local kids.
Trish has just visited Home Island school to spread the message about native plants and introduced weeds. The school kids put on ranger uniforms and safety equipment and took turns spraying weeds with water.
Park staff will visit Home Island school again in November, to talk about other invasive species such as the yellow crazy ant - and next year it's on to West Island school as part of an ongoing education program on invasive species.
