Free Day! I am going to Abel Tasman National Park to chill at the beach, ride horses, swim with seals, eat at cafes, kayak, hike... soo many options! Tomorrow we head over to Nelson Lakes National Park to start our second volunteer project (Monday 2/8 - Friday 2/12)
Nelson Lakes National Park Background
Nelson Lakes National Park is situated in the north of NZ's South Island. This park protects 102,000 hectares of the northen most Southern Alps. The park offers tranquil beech forests, craggy mountains, clear streams and lakes bog big and small.
We will be working with the Rotoiti Nature Recovery Project:
The project aims to restor the eco-system in apporx 5000 hectares of beech forest on the shores of Lake Rotoiti. This is being achieved through an extenisve predator trapping program and the area is manages as a 'mainland island'. Take on of the many walks through the project and you'll see and hear the results of this work; a forest alive with the sights and sounds of birds.
I am not sure yet of the taskts we will being doing exactly but when I get back I will be sure to tell you all about it! I again won't have contact for a while but will be back soon!
Cheers!
