What can schools expect?
The Bay Conservation Alliance Nature Education programme provides fully facilitated hands-on experiential conservation education. Students will discover how incredibly unique New Zealand is, gain an insight into many of the conservation challenges in New Zealand, and learn a set of practical conservation skills. Activities and learnings include bird banding and ID, reptile and insect monitoring, rongoa, biosecurity challenges including issues like kauri dieback, and of course the huge challenge of pest management.
We are currently operating at three sites during Term 1 and Term 4 – Aongatete Forest Project and Oteora in the Kaimai Mamaku Conservation Park, and Otanewainuku Forest between Te Puke and Oropi.
