Are you a teacher or involved in a community group?
Now is the time to think about coming to Manawahe Ecological Community centre to take part in one of our Environmental Education programmes. The feedback from the schools that have visited has been amazing. Students want to plant trees, learn about pests and traps, listen for Kokako, weed bust, make weta/insect houses, make food wraps, create a food forest, problem solve and watch the sun rise over the Eastern Bay of Plenty. There are still spaces available for term 4 and bookings are open for 2020. Email me Helen on educ.met@gmail.com for all the details.
A group of Trident students wanted to not only protest about the environment but to also enhance the Environment. They decided to come and help plant 500 trees at Brent Mountfords farm on Herepuru road. It was a great day with a bunch of environmentally conscious people. Big thanks to Nicole Curtis for organising this event.
It was a native bird on its last legs – but the call of the kōkako in now ringing in Auckland’s Hunua Ranges.

A big thank you to Coast lands nursery, Lois Carter and Pippa Strong for all the wonderful native trees that we are planting at the Ecological Community centre.
