  2. Blumine is… It’s an island, which has no humans permanently living on it. There are native species living all round the island such as Tomtits, Weka, Weta, Gecko and native fish.

  3. Blumine Island is near Picton in the Marlborough sounds. To get there, some take the train to Picton and then we all take a boat to the island Location

  4. What we did on Blumine island: 16 students from 8 schools came together to work on Blumine Island to conserve and protect the natural environment.

  5. Purpose of the Blumine Island project • To learn about conserving the environment through hands on experience. • Working with a big group of students to help research for DOC . • AND TO HAVE FUN!!!

  6. We collected data for various projects such as: Weta monitoring Beech tree plotting/monitoring Track Clearing Tracking Tunnels Tomtit sighting Gecko tracking Snail monitoring Fish measuring

  7. We decide what we do, when we do itand how we do it. • Students tramp out around the island gathering information for DOC . • Breakfast, lunch and dinner are all brought to the island and have to be made by the students. • After researching and collecting data we go for a swim, play games, rest or even pilates lessons!

  8. Our Vision To see people getting involved with Blumine and enjoying the island as much as we did! Hopefully one day soon, Kiwis, Mohua and Tieke will be introduced onto the island.
