Te Ngahere
Māori are intrinsically and inherently connected to the environment. This is represented in whakapapa (genealogy), Pūrākau (stories) and ātua (gods/ deities). Preserving and protecting ecology enhances the cultural and historical narratives of Aotearoa.
During the Owairoa Marae programme Te Ngāhere, students will take a guided or self-guided tour exploring our local forest and gardens. Students will learn about different lifeforms and the significance of our forest in local history and the wider context.
