Raumati Technology Centre
Houkura is a kura taiao project to restore and regenerate a dune and wetland area in the heart of Raumati Beach, tucked away amongst local schools, college, marae and preschools. With te taiao at the centre, students and community will work together creating an enduring place for learning, peace and prosperity, to benefit birds, plants, waterways, and the whole community. Houkura will be an environmental education hub and a living classroom. Connecting into and understanding the cultural significance of this area, while creating gardens and orchards for the future, we will be learning how to understand the importance of whole eco-systems living together. Houkura is a collaboration involving Iwi and hapū, Raumati Technology Centre, Kāpiti College marae and environmental educators.
