Kiwi Conservation Club: Think Like a Forest
Image: Pure Advantage
Film
Philip Carter Family Auditorium
Free
As part of the Kiwi Conservation Club Open day we are screening Think Like a Forest – a film about the incredible, diverse native forests in Aotearoa and all of their benefits.
Over two thirds of New Zealand’s native forests are already gone and more are being damaged by of human activity. Our leader as we explore the forests is Sam the Trap Man. Sam is a father and self-described “bushman” — part hunter, trapper, fisher, forager and conservationist, he's an expert when it comes to the bush. He will take us to two significant areas of Aotearoa to share his knowledge and talk with kaitiaki of these ecosystems to show how we can all “think like a forest” to support and connect with nature.
