City, District and Regional Councils are great
sources of information. Some councils have produced a wide range
of material which is well suited for using in the classroom. If
your local councils have not produced much environmental information
contact councils outside your area, many of the resources produced
are useful both locally and nationally.
Some Councils also run class programmes that can take place
outside the school or in the classroom. Check the regional councils websites in their
education/school sections, or call your regional council. Some councils produce school newsletters....contact them to receive a copy. Write to councils to receive a list of the resources they have available, or search for info on their sites or at www.eednz.org.nz |
