Hokonui Rūnanga Pekapeka camp

Tawanui - February 2022.

Such an experience for the Kaitiaki Tauira and those from the Taiao Team. We were very lucky to have Ian Davison-Watts (Ecologist), Matt Dale (Freshwater Ecologist) and to have both Kelsi Hayes (2nd year Environmental management at S.I.T.) and Luka Finn (3rd year Environmental management at S.I.T.) from the seed collecting team to come along!

Check out the photos …
