Kōpara Hub (31)

Kererū Hub (25)
The Kererū Hub is our blog for years 3 to 4. Fun fact: our native large green, copper and white native bush pigeon has the widest gape of all New Zealand native birds, which allows it to eat large berries. This makes them vital to our forest ecosystem, as trees such as karaka, miro, tawa and taraire rely on them for seed dispersal.

Horoeka Hub (26)
Our Horoeka Hub is our blog for years 0, 1 and 2. Fun fact: Horoeka (Pseudopanax crassifolius) trees have long, thick, stiff leaves with teeth and a central rib, turned down like ribs of an umbrella from a usually slender, erect stem in young trees. Can grow up to 15 m high with a straight, clean trunk and shorter, wider leaves.
