Manawatu Gorge filming

Ok, so we're making a video to "sell" the idea of doing the Manawatu Gorge walks. 

Great idea,
get out there in the environmental for all sorts of reasons, environmental, educational, social, exercise wise, for peace and quiet...and all the reasons we already know.

I'd better go back to why and how we got there; Te Manawa is collaborating with DOC (dept of Conservation) and Horizons (regional Council) to launch Conservation Week in town in Palmerston North.  There's going to be a kids photo competition (around a conservation theme) which is going out to the schools soon, and we're also launching the Kiwi Ranger programme, which is an activity book to get kids ( and families) to enjoy the environment. 

So yeah, DOC have videos on their website of lots of different walks, trails, tramps, campsites etc...and we're doing one for the Manawatu Gorge- I sometimes wonder how I get myself roped into these things! lol.

Look here for some of the stuff they've already done.

We had a meeting today to suss out the plan...and omg its getting bigger and bigger.

So we've got the target audience (kids and families) cos they are the ones who will do the Kiwi ranger programme.  Then we've got to get the kids.  hmmm.

Then there's the weather- did I mention this is mid winter!  flip
