Orokonui Ecosanctuary
By Richard Olsen | Posted: Friday August 24, 2018
A number of Room 14 students visited the Orokonui Ecosanctuary for the first time on Wednesday and they came away with a wealth of new knowledge. The work being carried out at the Orokonui Ecosanctuary is really inspiring and is having such a positive impact on native plants and wildlife here in Dunedin.
Throughout the morning we completed a number of different activities including; testing water quality; locating some of our native wildlife including the Pukeko and Otago Skinks; we also took a closer look at some of our native and introduced plants and discussed the positive and negative impact of these. One of the highlights would be discovering New Zealand's tallest tree (Eucalyptus) which can be found at the Ecosanctuary standing at a whopping 80.5m!
We had a fantastic day at the Ecosanctuary and if your thinking about visiting we would definitely recommend it!
Enjoy some action photos taken on the day!
