Nature Centre An Exciting Place to Explore

The opening of the Nature Centre at the Southland Community Nursery last Friday offers great educational opportunities. An exciting and colourful room with stimulating environmental murals, it is a place that schools will be able to make great use of. Chris Rance’s vision of providing an all weather facility is an extension of the work that she has already done with many schools. Numerous school pupils have used the nursery and the restoration area for studies in the past, but not always easy in bad weather. Now with this new facility, teachers will be able to rest assured, knowing that regardless of the weather the pupils will be able to enjoy the wonderful natural environment, undertaking indoor tasks in comfort and getting outside when the weather breaks.
