Hokotehi Moriori Trust owns several farm properties, including,
Kaingaroa Farm and Henga and has a guardian role over the large Taia
property bought by the Department of Conservation. |
School groups that stay at
Kopinga Marae are able to visit these working properties and depending on the
time of year, may even be able to participate in some farm work, or just observe general farm work at close hand. |
|
Kaingaroa farm also has several
areas that are better suited to regeneration, rather than development.
Your school group could participate in a re-vegetation programme,
through planting trees, shrubs or grasses.
Some New Zealand schools have
already committed themselves to conservation tours on the Islands this summer, which
includes tree planting at select reserves on the islands. |

Kaingaroa farm is one of the
oldest run-holdings on the islands and produces quality stock.
Pasture development and stock
improvement are just some of the areas in which the manager of Kiangaroa
Farm specialises in and he also farms other properties on the islands
with excellent results. |
|
Come on and book your school
camp to Kopinga Marae and call out and see the Kaingaroa Farm in action.
Your students might even be able to give a hand in the woolshed, muster
stock, or plant trees. In fact just come and see a real farm in
action.... it'll be worth it. |

Oh! Did we forget to mention
that just down the road at Kaingaroa village, there is a really awesome
beach and the local club, that sometimes caters lunch for visiting groups.
And
it is also the site of Broughtons first landing back in 1791?
Come and have a look for yourself. |
