You can check out the website on: www.kiwiguardians.co.nz and there are so many places throughout New Zealand to visit and learn from. It's a partnership between Toyota and NZ Dept of Conservation. And at each of the places children are able to earn badges as well as to learn about the natural environment.
Reminds me of my Geography fieldtrip days and also when our children were younger and we'd take them camping to some of the camp sites around New Zealand or when we hired a camper van and drove down to Wellington and had a great time up North as well.
Definitely something we need to teach to our younger generations about preserving our natural environments, flora and fauna and also conserving what natural resources we have around us. I saw it in the way that I was brought up by my parents in not wanting to waste resources or over consume on things.
It was also about not being so materialistic and having so many things when there is so much in our natural environment that can be a blessing i.e. in watching the stars at night, the sunrises and sunsets, the beautiful trees and flowers that surround us in planting a garden or having indoor plants not to mention pets etc.
So why not give it a go and teach our children and grandchildren about the God given natural environment that surrounds us...
