The "Valley"

When we returned from Australia, Laura and I traveled to the Coromandel Peninsula and volunteered at the Tararu Valley Sanctuary for three months. "The Valley's" primary goals were to restore and conserve its native ecology and educate about sustainable living practices. We contributed and learned a fair amount, but also had "heaps" of fun.



Morning meeting...



Young Rata?




"Koru"



While we were at the Valley, we attempted to raise goslings who had been abandoned by their momma. Here is Laura with "Jumpy."




"Its a RAINforest!"




Everything gets wet here.




The Valley's own Kauri.
