We have been very busy learning about the pests we have in New Zealand and what we are doing locally to help keep them OUT.
Over the last few weeks we have been very lucky to have some experts come in to Room 9 to talk to us. Sally, from Department of Conservation, talked to the Pohutukawa Syndicate about the pests we have in New Zealand. She brought in some furry creatures (stuffed variety) and some real traps to show us how DOC are trying to reduce this problem. We had many questions for her and the children were very engaged and interested in what Sally had to say.
Then, we had Jesse and his dad Andrew share some great photos about the good work they do when they go trapping in the Brook Waimarama Sanctuary. What an amazing job you and the other volunteers do which is helping keep those pests at bay while the fence is being built.
We did our own investigation around Nelson Central School and laid some tracking tunnels to see what we have in our 'back yard'.
