We had a great day in the bush yesterday setting out NZ auto traps. Here is proof that they work. Four rats all lined up underneath.
The centre is all ready for action. The food forest is exactly that with little gems hidden all over the place. It is amazing what can grow in a year. We now need students to come enjoy the harvest as well as planting for next year.
Does anyone have any advice on stoat/ferret traps. Which is the best sort and where to get them. Thanks
Whakatane Intermediate Year 8 Intensives spent last Thursday and Friday at the Manawahe Ecological Community Centre. It was the last camp for 2019. The students are the Enviro gurus from the Intermediate. They had a great time and even discovered a new ecosystem at the centre. There are frogs in the pool.
The Trident Get 2 Go team had a fantastic week at the National Final on Great Barrier island. Second in New Zealand. A big thank you to the Manawahe Eco trust for letting the team come and camp at the centre and train in the area.
The team at Okataina and then sailing on the Whakatane river. Thanks to Gary Waller for helping us with sailing. So nice to see optimists on the river again.
The Manawahe Ecological Corridor has so many cool features. A highlight is the Karaponga falls such a special place.
I have been training the Trident Get 2 Go team that are off to the National Final on Great Barrier on Sunday. The team did an overnight at Manawahe and explored the local area, as well as doing a beach clean up at Lake Rotoma. Great training venue.
Preschoolers love Manawahe, it is a great day out, heaps of fun with these inquisitive minds.
