Projects

Participants will identify species of beneficial fungi that can help native plant species recover. They will also investigate practical techniques of re-establishing native vegetation sanctuaries.

This project's team will create a low-predator urban environment to help native species thrive, and then share it with others through an education programme for local schools and the wider community.

Dunedin's primary school students are joining forces with scientists to see what things in urban greenspaces make good homes for the vulnerable velvet worm (Peripatus), and how to then create Peripatus-friendly areas at school.

The project team will build on previous work on Quarantine Island Kamau Taurua, drawing on groups from throughout the community to investigate questions.
