BLAKE inspire visit

1 June 2022

In the first week of the school holidays, the education team hosted 36 students and 11 adults from BLAKE Inspire. Students were guided in small groups to experience both Te Tūī a Tāne (southern enclosure) and the Tautari Wetland area, asking questions to gain insight into community conservation and predator-free 2050. It is always a pleasure to host these inspiring young people and share the mauri and mana of Maungatautari with them.

BLAKE Inspire is a week-long residential leadership development programme in partnership with the Ministry for the Environment. Throughout the week students will work together with scientists, environmental experts, a diverse range of leaders, and other like-minded students to help them develop strong leadership skills while learning about topical environmental issues and how they can take action to tackle them.
