New Zealand has a really special environment. Many of the plants and trees found in New Zealand are not found anywhere else in the world. These plants and trees are endemic to our country. In New Zealand, one of the largest and longest living endemic trees is the NZ Kauri tree. Kauri are mainly found in three regions of New Zealand: the Coromandel, Auckland and Northland. The largest Kauri tree in the country is in the Waipoua Forest in Northland. It is called Tāne Mahuta. Some people refer to it as the ‘Lord of the Forest.’
Thousands of people go to visit Tāne Mahuta every year. Would you like to be one of those people who got to see Tāne Mahuta in real life? Why or why not?
On your blog, tell us whether you would like to go and visit Tāne Mahuta one day. Be sure to tell us why you do (or do not) want to visit this endemic tree.

Kia ora Leilani,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Patricia and I am part of the SLJ team. Thanks for completing another set of activities!
Firstly I want to commend you for using the image attribution link in your pictures, way to go!
Activity 1: Giants Among Us - I used to live up North so I had the privilege to visit this place couple times and I can tell you that in there I felt very connected to nature and quite inspired by the majestic size of Tāne Mahuta. It's really cool that you want to go there to explore the surroundings and enjoy nature. Furthermore, I enjoyed that you thought about to add some interesting facts about this endemic tree, very clever!
Keep up with the great work!
Kia kaha,
Patricia
