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.

We were so lucky yesterday to have the Helping Hands from the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints come to Manawahe. It is incredible what 30 people can do. Huge thanks to all the wonderful helpers. The centre and grounds are looking great, it is amazing what is hidden under the strawberry dogwoods. Time to plant natives 🙂
