Pūkaha Junior Rangers - January '22 Bookings Now Open!

The Team from Pūkaha National Wildlife Centre

Bookings are now open for our Junior Rangers School Holiday Programme, running 10:30am-2:30pm on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from the 11th -27th of January 2022.

Junior Rangers is suitable for all tamariki aged 5 - 14 years.

Each day's activities will be different and limited to just 10 children. We recommend booking early to avoid disappointment.

The programme aims to give tamariki a fun, 'hands-on', outdoor educational experience in our wonderful ngahere amongst all the wildlife that live here. See our iconic tuna (eels) being fed and visit the Kiwi House and behold juvenile kiwi as they hunt for bugs and worms. Exploration and Discovery is encouraged!

Includes lunch to suit the dietary requirements of all hardy Explorers!

$30 per child or $27 for Members. Spots are limited. Please book online via the blue banner at the top of our homepage at www.pukaha.org.nz...

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!
