Summary
The Waihola Waipori wetlands are regarded as the best example of this type of habitat on the Otago coast. The area is nationally and internationally recognised as a precious refuge for many threatened and endangered species of plant, fish and bird.This kit focuses on the Sinclair wetlands, a privately owned property within the wider Waihola Waipori wetlands.
The first half of this document provides general information on the history of the area - its importance as a source of traditional foods and fibres for southern Maori and drainage for agriculture by European settlers in the early 1800s - its restoration as a natural habitat for wildlife since 1960 and its ecological values today.
The second part of the resource kit offers a selection of pre-visit, on-site and follow-up activities to provide students with a range of experiences in, about, and for the environment.
