We were very pleased to be able to work with a group of teachers and our Enviroschools whānaunga today guiding a ride on Te Ara Tupua. We’d love to do more work to support schools and tamariki to explore this pathway and our environment here in Te Whanganui a Tara. Thank you to Te Ara Tupua Alliance for supporting this mahi.
