Marae Based Plant Course Now Available For Sale
An introduction to NZ’s plant life is the first module completed by the Network as part of its marae-based plant training course. Over the past two years the Network has run several pilot courses and as a result we have refined the text and images to improve the resource. We have now published the module so if you would like to purchase a copy please send your order to the Network at PO Box 16-102, Wellington along with a cheque for $35 (Network members), $45 (non-members). This course booklet is 70 pages long and includes chapters on:Plant names – which name do you use?
Where plants grow and why
Flower, spores, seed and fruit
Leaves, stems, bark and roots
Plant identification and collecting plant specimens for identification
The second booklet entitled How to manage and monitor a covenant is now being designed and will be published in due course. Information about the marae-based plant training course will be available in the near future from the Network website.
