Explore the forest

A visit to our primal forest inspires curiosity and wonder. Building the connection to our natural heritage is an enriching experience for students. Contact us to discuss your visit and the planning of activities before and after.

We welcome discussion about opportunities for your students to contribute to conservation in the park. This is a great way for them to work at the local level while giving them a sense of how that can help solve global environmental issues.

Our current education programme is building momentum with a part-time Educator co-ordinator and is a collaborative project between Bushy Park Tarapuruhi Trust, Whanganui Regional Museum educators, Sarjeant Gallery art educators, a DOC rangers, and volunteer educators.
