Geothermal Week
We’re celebrating geothermal week this year by running a free teacher professional development session at Craters of the Moon on 31st July 1:30 - 4:00pm. Local ecologist Alana Delich - who is an expert in geothermal plants - will be supporting the session and we will focus on the unique flora and fauna that survives in Taupō's harsh geothermal environment.
We have made a Geothermal Ecosystem education resource specifically for Craters of the Moon that we have made available online too.
We hope that teachers will come away with knowledge, activities, and resources that they could use to run a class trip to Craters of the Moon or other geothermal area in Taupō.
Numbers on this trip will be capped at 20 participants. Although the session would be aimed at teachers, if spots don't fill up, we would advertise it to other keen community group members too.
