ENVIRONMENTAL LEADERSHIP IN NEW ZEALAND

BLAKE launched its newest program BLAKE Explorers, a three-day experience to connect students aged 11 – 13 with the marine environment. Through activities such as snorkeling in marine reserves and estuaries, surfing, rock-pooling, walking nature trails, beach cleanups, and other outdoor activities, BLAKE aims to spark an interest for the students and inspire them to take action for the environment. BLAKE runs eight BLAKE Explorers programs annually through the New Zealand summer (October to March) for groups of students that have previously taken part in the BLAKE NZ-VR school program, that would not otherwise get the opportunity to participate in such activities.

BLAKE is dedicated to continuing Sir Peter Blake’s environmental leadership legacy.
