Enviro Camp 2020

The enviro group had the opportunity for four of our children to join students and staff from other Enviroschools in Canterbury  to attend a one night student leaders camp at Woodend Beach Holiday park and exploring nearby Tūhaitara Coastal Park. 

They were able to explore and learn about this unique coastal environment and be inspired by the Trust’s 200 year vision to restore the lands, and protect and provide opportunities for mahinga kai. 

They:

• gained an understanding of the biodiversity of Tūhaitara Park including the Tūtaepatu Lagoon and why it is important to protect it. 

• Identified actions as individuals we could take to protect local biodiversity. 

• Networked with other Enviroschools, work together and had fun! 

Highlights included

• catching and holding crabs, talking to other enviro children and planting.  

They would love to:

•  take regular trips to help at the Tūhaitara  biota nodes.
