Walking with Botanists: Pathways to Literacy in the Plant World

Tauranga-based naturalists Ann Graeme and Kate Mulligan discuss some of the origins and affinites of New Zealand's native forests, while teaching participants how to identify some of our characteristic plants. The course will involve two fieldtrips on the weekend of February 20 and 21. Some car pooling may be required.

About the Presenters:

Ann Graeme has been involved in environmental protection and education for most of her life, and is regarded as an environmental hero by thousands of children and adults throughout New Zealand. From 1992, she has run Forest and Bird's group for children - the Kiwi Conservation Club (KCC) to raise awareness of the environment and educate young people. Ann writes the fun and informative KCC magazine, with a readership of about 18,000.

Kate Mulligan studied botany at University and went on to become a teacher. Kate has a deep affection for the native forest and is active in its conservation. She shares this knowledge with others, especially children through Forest and Bird's Kiwi Conservation Club, (of which she is local coordinator, thus introducing hundreds of young families to the forest).
