Project Island Song

We had the most fabulous day at Urupukapuka Island on Thursday. We learned about our precious marine environment and how to protect our endemic plants and wildlife. We planted some trees and made traps. On the trip back to Paihia we even saw some Bottlenose dolphins! 

Koroua was our biosecurity officer, checking the bags to make sure we didn't translocate any pests to the island.

Shaniadawn was in charge of Health and Safety, checking the passenger list.


Tamati showed us how to put on the lifejackets.

Proud karo tree planters.

Group photo. Awesome Room 3.

Lots of collaboration needed to construct our traps.
