Cape to City in the classroom

Calling all Hawke's Bay teachers! Cape to City is focussed on encouraging healthy biodiversity in Hawke's Bay, and we'd love to help you share this message with your students. 

Our education team offers four tailored programmes on backyard biodiversity, marine, bush and freshwater environments. Additionally, we offer free whole-staff teacher training workshops with our Cape to City Ambassador, Ruud Kleinpaste, on cross-curricular teaching in the outdoors. 

If you're keen to work with us at your school, contact our education team to learn more.
