The teams did their mahi in the forest restoration area next to the Waipahīhī Stream at Onslow College on the 17th and 25th February. Dozens of young rakau, wharariki flax and tussock were liberated from the smothering effects of invasive weeds. Tūī, riroriro, pīwakawaka and tauhou regularly make use of the regenerating forest, affirming the biodiversity goals of the project. The growing ngahere is also used by students and teachers as part of Onslow’s curriculum across a range of learning areas. Year 9 Science students use the forest while learning to measure and assess ecological communities and in developing their value of kaitiakitanga for te taiao. conservation johnsonville places secondary education Mon, 04 Mar 2024 00:00:00 GMT https://www.onslow.school.nz/ngahere-working-bees-restoring-te-taiao/ Onslow College 2024-03-04T00:00:00Z -41.2301052 174.79766106389056 Onslow College, Burma Road, Broadmeadows, Wellington, Wellington City, Wellington, 6037, New Zealand
