Wetland Warriors at Grovetown Lagoon

In partnership with Junior Landcare, students in your Envirogroup have the opportunity to work alongside the WW volunteers in the wetlands nursery or around the Grovetown Lagoon while learning about the wetlands and why its restoration is so important.

Each Envirogroup that takes part in a working bee with the WW volunteers, gets the opportunity to tour Koru Native Wildlife Centre. This tour normally costs $5/child, but will be offered free as part of the Junior Landcare programme.

This is a great opportunity for students to learn more about Marlborough gecko, giant wētā and kakariki, provide context and motivation for restoration, and is a wee “thank you” for their work with the WW volunteers.

There are 3 dates available for Term – Wed 7 Aug, Wed 28 Aug,  Wed 18 Sept

WW opportunity is for 6 students per school, aged Year 3 and above. We can take 2 Envirogroups per session. Sessions will run from 10 – 12 pm.  It will be on a first in basis contact Angela to RSVP or for further details angela@wenties.nz
