Nurturing nature

Conservation Kids had over 200 people join Envirohub Marlborough and Te Ātiawa for a collaborative Explore Nature event at Momorangi Bay.

The free, whānau focused, zero waste event in celebration of Children’s Day and Seaweek offered whānau the experience to admire our wider outdoor environment with children, parents and grandparents exploring forest, beach and ocean.

Children received their “Momorangi Bay passport” to tick off the treasures of our moana with Waikawa Dive Centre, identify freshwater species in the local stream, carry out their own marine investigation on the beach and walk through the native forest.

“We received fantastic feedback from families, expressing that their children loved the hands-on learning throughout the day and getting to experience what they were learning right in front of their eyes”, says Envirohub Marlborough’s Nina Kay.

“A huge thank you to Port Marlborough for being the main sponsor of the day, as well as Seaweek, Waikawa Dive Centre, Mr Whippy and our fantastic volunteers for making this unforgettable event possible”.
