EIT's education department is about to get a whole lot greener thanks to a partnership with the Cape to City and Poutiri Ao Tne projects.
Cape to City and Poutiri Ao Tne are collaborative large-scale ecological restoration projects in Hawke's Bay.
A Memorandum of Understanding was launched yesterday between EIT and the projects. This will formalise the environmental education goals of the initiatives, while also providing EIT students and staff with direct access to leading-edge conservation.
Dr Jo Blakeley from EIT says she hopes this "exciting" collaboration will see EIT students and staff benefit from direct access to transformational ecological restoration projects in Hawke's Bay.
"The projects' vision of encouraging native species to thrive where we live work and play aligns well with EIT's vision to engage, inspire, and transform," adds Professor Nat Waran, executive dean of the Faculty of Education, Humanities and Health.
