Conservation Project 1 - Bay of Islands. We make our way north to the stunning Bay of Islands. Visit Waitangi where New Zealand’s founding document the Treaty of Waitangi was signed. The first conservation project will be based from beautiful Urupukapuka Island, accessed by launch. The Bay of Islands has an abundance of marine life, including whales, penguins, dolphins, gannets and many other species. This maritime and historic park was home to numerous Maori settlements and the first European settlement in New Zealand. Urupukapuka Island is managed by the Department of Conservation and contains a number of archeological sites. Dolphins are regularly seen in the waters around the island. While on the island we stay in a simple lodge and will be cooking all meals together. On Friday afternoon we’ll return to Auckland.
This is all I have now on the project but will surely update you when I arrive back!
