Schools, Youth & ECE Groups
We collaborate with the Auckland Council's Sustainable Schools program to enable children to participate in our projects and contribute to planting sessions both at their schools and in the wider peninsula area. Children have worked on signage to raise awareness of what we are doing, water testing, murals, litter intelligence, Matariki lantern making, discovering our maunga, pest weed work, and visited our nurseries in ‘beyond the school gate’ programs. We collaborate with 10 schools, 2 play centres, 2 Kindergartens and some ECE centres on Takarunga Hauraki Peninsula. Our volunteers working on this program are passionate about sharing the wonder of the natural world to connect the next generation to Te Taiao / our environment.
