Pelorus April 2019 Our kids had a hand at making Pest tracking tunnels and Lizard Lounges. We did a recycle project using old marketing display boards to have a go at making Pest tracking tunnels and Lizard lounges. The kids all made a tracking tunnel each, complete with paper, ink and peanut butter to attract the pests. Then they each made a lizard lounge to help attract lizards to their gardens, they filled them with lots of bits from nature for the lizards to explore. They even included some big rocks for lizards to sunbath on. The kids had a blast. Making Tracking Tunnels and Lizard Lounges

Pelorus Aug 2019 We learnt all about the Kakapo and then did a fundraiser to adopt one. We learnt all about the NZ Kakapo as a group, we played a game to help demonstrate the kakapos predators in the wild. Then we decorated stones like Kakapo and sold them of donation which we put towards adopting our very own Kakapo. Kakapo Day

Connecting With Nature Engaging ways for kids to connect with nature In celebration of DOC's annual Conservation Week, we have put together some fun and engaging ways for kids to connect with nature at home and beyond. These activities can be enjoyed not only during Conservation Week, but any time you want to go out and connect with nature. Head into your backyard to discover what lives there, explore a new landscape and see what you can find, or be creative and enjoy making some of our nature crafts. Don't forget to share with us how you have 'taken a moment to notice nature'. We would love to see you enjoying these activities! 1. Make a Nature Journal A nature journal is a fun and easy activity for kids to enjoy at home. You can easily create one with items you can find around your house. Once you have created your nature journal, don't forget to head outdoors and fill it up with all the amazing discoveries you come across on your adventures. Draw a picture of a special tree at your house or an interesting tree you spot on a walk. Take a minute to sit quietly in nature, note down everything you hear, smell or can feel. Go back another day to the same spot and see if you notice anything different. Do some leaf rubbings. Draw the different birds you spot and see if you can identify them. See if you can spot something red, something green, something yellow and something brown, and then draw them in your journal. Click this image to download PDF instructions on how to make a Nature Journal 2. Create Nature Art Don't forget to share your creation with us, tag us on Facebook or Instagram @conservationkidsnz or Email us at conservationkids@envirohub.co.nz Go for a walk around your section or local reserve. Collect leaves, sticks, seed pods and bark...anything you can find on the ground that has fallen off a tree or plant. Remember not to pick or pull anything off a live plant. Create some fun bits of nature art with your found items: Create a Mandala pattern. You could do this on the side of a track or at a reserve for someone else to find. Do some leaf rubbings. You can make really fun wrapping paper out of it or a card. Or add them to your nature journal. Make a fun picture to send to your friend. This can be a fun way to wish someone Happy Birthday without needing a card. Make a self-portrait with the items. What can you use as hair? Stones might make good eyes! Have fun creating items with the nature you collect, but just remember when you're done to put it all back into nature. Fallen leaves, flowers and sticks help are homes for insects and fungi. To help protect the biodiversity of our environment it's important to put everything back where it belongs once you have finished having some fun. Happy Birthday Dad Don't forget to share your creation with us, tag us on Facebook or Instagram @conservationkidsnz or Email us at conservationkids@envirohub.co.nz

Pelorus June 2020 On June 19th 2020 we celebrated the first ever World Albatross day Our fantastic group of kids had fun learning all about the amazing and wonderful albatross. They learnt about how big its wing span can be and what its biggest threat is. They all then had fun making albatross mask's and drawing their own albatross. We put all of their drawings on a big poster to say thank you to HookPod - a company that is dedicated to helping protect the albatross from been caught on long line fishing. It was great fun and well done kids for all your cool pictures and masks. World Albatross Day

Marine Conservation Litter Intelligence Project Envirohub Marlborough participates in the Sustainable Coastline’s Litter Intelligence project by organizing beach clean ups throughout the Marlborough Sounds. The Litter Intelligence project “collects data, provides insights and inspires action for a litter-free Aotearoa”.

This is New Zealand’s first national litter database and it will help build a better understanding of our litter problem. Envirohub Marlborough is proud to be a part of this grassroots action that “ gives politicians and business leaders, students and scientists, writers and researchers the right information to take action for a litter-free world” For more information on the Litter Intelligence project visit litterintelligence.org For more information on Envirohub Marlborough’s Litter Intelligence beach clean ups contact info@envirohub.co.nz Litter Intelligence Project beach clean up at the Picton Foreshore Litter Intelligence Long Term Monitoring Project on Long Island, Marlborough Sounds.
