When youthful energy and initiative meet mature cunning and resources, there's a chance for great things to happen.
Kapiti Village's group of somewhat older eco-warriors recently hosted some of Paraparaumu Beach School's Bird-Savers group, along with principal Jess Ward and teacher David Parr, to share experiences on predator control.
Kapiti Village has several sustainability projects developed by groups of residents.
The predator control project is focusing on eliminating rats, stoats and other predators from the grounds to ensure their population of birds, lizards, weta and other insects can thrive.
The Paraparaumu Beach School Bird-Savers started out with planting projects to encourage bird life.
