New Publication For Schools

Water bodies including rivers, streams, ponds, lakes, aquifers and wetlands are the subject of a new environmental resource for schools, Your Environment Canterbury.

The publication, to be published twice yearly by Environment Canterbury, aims to focus on one aspect of the environment at a time so it can be used for a topical study.

The first issue describes the various types of water bodies and why we should value them for future generations.

Education co-ordinator Anna Norris is also willing to send out additional information to schools or visit classes to speak about issues raised in each publication. She can be contacted at
