Maungatautari Reserve

Last week Room 7 along with Room 1 went to Maungatautari Reserve.  Maungatautari is an internationally significant restoration project, this 3,400 hectare forested, extinct volcano stands majestically on the landscape in the Waikato basin, between Cambridge, Te Awamutu and Putaruru, in the central North Island of New Zealand. Takahe, kiwi, kaka (birds) and kokopu (fish) have already been reintroduced to two pest free enclosures!

We saw many wonderful things along the path to the viewing tower.  Over the next few weeks we would like to share with you all the amazing things we have learnt and our journey at Maungatautari.

So keep a watch out for our coming posts.

  1. I like how you named all the birds and described where the reserve was. Maybe you could add a picture of some of the things you saw to give us more of an idea of what you saw.

  2. Thanks for the comment. It is really helpful to know what sort of things people would like to know. We spent the morning talking about what we could write and now you've given us some great ideas. We will work on answering them after athletics tomorrow.

    We hope that we will be able to write some good comments on your blogs. We have been looking at them and are working on adding comments.
