Bring the tamariki for a family-friendly tour of the exhibition ‘He Tohu’ at 10am and learn about three documents that shaped New Zealand. All ages with supervising adult welcome. The duration of the tour is 20 minutes.
We will sketch our ideas for our artwork with pencil and clipboards ‘in situ’ looking at art in the library building and be inspired by famous New Zealanders and the documents that have shaped New Zealand (Declaration of Independence, Treaty of Waitangi, Women’s Suffrage Petition) to create a big artwork together. What is your Dream for Aotearoa? Come and find out more about your identity, culture and how to express yourself. All ages welcome. Caregivers can grab a coffee but are expected to supervise their children during the duration of the programme. Please book in to secure your spot!
Our experienced learning facilitators will make this tour fun for children and adults alike. Staff will lead the activities and help children to be creative.
Some Choice News!
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!
