Healthy forests act as carbon sinks and need our help to support them.
Carbon Sinking in the Ngahere
Experiences
Ka Mua, Ka Muri: Students look back into the past before exploring the future of our ngahere (forests).
Using a mix of science, local history, mātauranga Māori and drama, students investigate the forest carbon cycle.
They will explore how they can help foster strong forest ecosystems, which in turn will support our health, wellbeing and resilience.
