Hey Rangatahi! Ready to make a difference for our planet?

This awesome four-day biodiversity workshop series at NZNFS is made for rangatahi, led by rangatahi, and developed by rangatahi just like you! We’re all about celebrating the power of youth to lead change and protect Aotearoa’s unique plants, animals, and tiny creatures that make our land so special.

We’ll meet at the Heritage Village, Mystery Creek, where you’ll get hands-on with cool activities and explore themes like water, micro-organisms, plants, and animals—all through the eyes of rangatahi leaders.

You’ll learn how everything in nature connects—from the environment to the economy and our communities— and how your choices can help protect and grow our beautiful land. Using systems thinking, you’ll see how all parts of nature work together and how rangatahi can think big and smart to solve real-world problems.
