The Atene Tracks are located in Whanganui National Park just 40 minutes drive from Whanganui at Atene on the historic Whanganui River road.
The tracks offer a number of great walking experiences for students and teachers.
The teaching resource provides pre- and post-visit activity suggestions, information on the biodiversity of the area and a number of activities to do with students while walking sections or the whole of the Atene Tracks, focussing on the plants and wildlife students will encounter along the way.
