Native Plant Scavenger Hunt

Written By Kim Manunui

Go for a walk around your neighbourhood and in your local green space. See if you can identify any native trees.  How many of the ones on our scavenger hunt sheet can you spot?  You might need to do some research to tell some of them apart.  Can you tell manuka from kanuka? (Hint: Use the saying “Mean manuka and kind kanuka.” Manuka feels prickly and kanuka feels soft when you hold a branch).   You can use the NZ Trees app to help you identify the trees.  

Check out our Native Restoration Plant Hunt to learn about the interesting native plants that might be more common in restoration sites, native gardens and local green spaces.

You can also check out the awesome Trees that Count webpage: Meet your Native Trees to learn all about New Zealand’s unique native trees.

This really awesome native tree bingo is from the fabulous Trees that Count website. Click on the image to go to the site to download the pdf.

Hi, I’m Kim and I work with a great team to help individuals, as well as small and not so small businesses get their message, product and services to the world using digital media and creating wonderful websites that don’t cost the earth.

I was born in Canada, and grew up around Vancouver and the mountains of British Columbia. My love of pristine environments led me to New Zealand and eventually to the mountains, lakes and rivers of the central North Island which is home. My family’s heritage is here, and it’s from here that Korio traverses the planet.

The digital world is never static and neither are we.

And I say ‘we’ because I work with an awesome group of talented people who I gather together as required to complete a project.  Whatever your business, not-for-profit or individual needs are we gather the best team to get the job done.

Collaboratively we are creative, share sustainable values and work hard for great outcomes because that’s the buzz of satisfaction that drives us.

If you have an audience and market to reach, we can make that happen. Creative design, words that work and smart behind the scenes stuff that cuts through the online noise. We’ll design your website and then build it. We’ll manage the content as well as all your hosting needs. We can handle your online advertising so you get noticed,
and we’ll manage your social media presence so you get the clicks, likes and engagement to grow your business. All within the budget you set, because none of this needs to cost the earth.  And the job doesn’t stop when your website goes live. We are your virtual business partner.
