From Imogen Hewlett:

Hi trampers, these were forwarded on to those of us that attended the Council Park Ranger guided walk at Kauri Point last week. Very interesting as always.

"The Treasures of the Forest" link in particular is really useful for bush skills. What to do if you get stung, amongst others. Quite pertinent as the weather is starting to warm up and there are more wasps around during our tramping excursions.

Join community rangers this Conservation Week / Te Wiki Tiaki Ao Tūroa on their learning journey. Be inspired by the knowledge shared by ngahere ranger Riki Bennett and Māori healer Donna Kerridge in our amazing community parks. Creating this series of videos has inspired our community rangers and will help encourage your communities during Conservation Week. Ka ora te whenua, ka ora te tangata – when the land is well, the people are well.
