  • Castlecliff Conservation Area
    Castlecliff Conservation Area Nau Mai! Haere mai! Welcome to the newest part of the country PRE VISIT Brainstorm the ideas that students already have about the site.

Find out who the local iwi in your rohe are. Where are their marae? Who are the kaumätua? What stories can they can tell you about the place you are going to visit? Find out what the students know about DOC. Is there a DOC office in their area? What sorts of things does a DOC ranger do? Check out the DOC web site, www.doc.govt.nz Use maps and other resources to gather information about the geology and geography of the area. Examine key ideas related to the history of the site - eg its location and strategic importance; evidence of past occupation and uses. Which groups of people have lived in or used the area in the past, and for what purposes? Explore New Zealands responsibilities under global conventions such as the Rio Convention on Biodiversity.
