We are looking forward to getting back up there again this summer. This year for Conservation Week, @docgovtnz is asking Aotearoa to take action for nature. Whether it is by picking up rubbish, donating time or money to a local community group, there is always something you can do to help our environment and the native species that make Aotearoa special. π± . #conservationweek #takeactionfornature #docnz #pureexploration #rewildingpines
