Educational visits to Ngā Manu

Make Ngā Manu your classroom

Ngā Manu Nature Reserve offers a unique setting for school learning, where students can explore the ngahere, wetlands and native wildlife while connecting classroom learning with the natural world.

Bring your students for a self-guided visit or add one of our short, hosted Learning Topics, designed to connect with the Science and Social Sciences curriculum. Explore topics including kiwi, tuatara, wetlands, forest layers, the forest floor, ecosystems, pests and tuna.

Our school visits offer a flexible, hands-on learning experience for Years 1–10, with options to suit different ages and learning goals.

We also offer our nature experiences for smaller groups of students (ages 7+).
