At the edge of a native forest near Rotorua, a group of Year 8 students checked bird counts over three mornings. They heard more tūī and fantail calls after a section of weeds was removed and young trees were planted. The students also noticed fewer introduced birds near the track. Their teacher said the change could be linked to better food sources and safer nesting places. The group did not claim the forest was fully restored, but they agreed the planting work seemed to be helping the habitat recover.

Which summary best captures the main idea of the passage?

The teacher explained that introduced birds were the main reason the forest needed work. Removing weeds and planting native trees seemed to improve the forest habitat and support native birds. The forest was fully restored because the students planted young trees near the track. The students counted birds for three mornings and heard more tūī than fantail calls.
