Urban Ark – Manawa Taiao sees education as a fundamental pillar of our drive to improve native biodiversity through community action.
With support from Local Boards and Auckland Council’s Sustainable Schools team we run two free programmes, both aimed at late Primary (Yr 5&6), Intermediate (Yr 7&8) and early Secondary (Yr 9&10) akonga:
- our Te Wai Ōrea Education Programme is based at Western Springs Lakeside Park and is aimed at schools in the Waitematā Local Board area, particularly those who can easily access the park
- our Schools Engagement Programme is more mobile, operating either at your school or in some local park or reserve. This programme is open to all schools in the Albert-Eden, Puketāpapa and Waitematā local board areas (see map).
