A list of DoC resources

Look in your local phone book for the DoC office nearest you. DoC staff will often come to
your school upon request - a great way for your kids to get a first hand account of the
work that is being carried out around NZ to save our natural heritage.
You and your students can write to the Minister of Conservation at Parliament Buildings,
Wellington (post paid). If your class does write to the minister, please inform Forest and
Bird so we can be aware of how active schools are. |

City, District and
Regional Councils are great sources of information. Some councils have produced a wide
range of material which is well suited for using in the classroom. If your local councils
have not produced much environmental information contact councils outside your area, many
of the resources produced are useful both locally and nationally. Some Councils also run class programmes that can take place
outside the school or in the classroom. Check the regional councils websites in their
education/school sections, or call your regional council.
Examples of class programmes:
Environment Waikato - Streamsense and Rivers and Us
Auckland Regional Council - Parks Education Programmes
Some councils produce school newsletters....contact
them to receive a copy....
