With the guidance of PFK staff, we explored the Kauri Glen Reserve. Throughout the journey, Lucy provided us with detailed explanations of the various native plants growing in the reserve, with a particular focus on the habitat of kauri trees and the challenges and threats they face.
Despite being a relatively small reserve located within the city, it hosts a mini-ecosystem where native plants coexist, supporting and collaborating with each other in harmony. Alongside learning to identify different native plants, we also discovered many interesting facts and gained a deeper understanding of the importance of protecting them.
At the end of the trip, each cub received a “Kauri Guardian” T-shirt as a gift from PFK.
A big thank you to PFK for their efforts and to Ding Hui, a Chinese staff member, for assisting with the organisation and translation, making this an educational and enjoyable experience for us all!
【MSS】今天童軍的叢林徒步成功！在PFK職員的帶領下，我們進入了Kauri Glen保留地。整個行程，Lucy給我們詳細講解了這片保留地裡生長的各種本土植物，最主要的是kauri木的生長環境及其面臨的挑戰和威脅。在這片不算太大又位於市區的保留地裡，各種本土植物形成一個小生態，大部分都能互相依附協作，共同和諧生長。在讓我們認識各種本土植物的同時，了解許多有趣的小知識點，也明白保護它們的重要性。最後，每位童軍隊員也獲得了PFK贈送的「kauri衛士」T恤衫。 感謝PFK的工作，也感謝華人員工丁慧協助組織和擔任翻譯，帶給我們收穫知識和樂趣的一次行程！
