Special Visitor - Sarah - Horizons Regional Council

Yesterday we had a visit from another expert to help us with our science learning about biosecurity.  Sarah is the environmental educator for the Horizons Regional Council.  

She talked to us about pests in New Zealand, and what is being done to try to eradicate them.  We learnt about what the footprints of different animals look like too.

Sarah also helped us to construct tracking tunnels, because we are going to monitor the pests that are around our school.  We are hoping that some peanut butter will tempt the creatures to walk through the tunnels, and leave their footprints behind.  Once we know what pests we have around our school, we might be able to set up some traps to do our part to protect our patch of land from these creatures.
