Primary school teacher inspiring kids to get outdoors

From Summer Times, 10:34 am on 10 January 2022

Rachel Martin is a school teacher in Northland who would love to ignite conversations around how important getting outdoors is for children.

She's currently embarking on a lengthy hike from the Kaweka Ranges on the East Coast to Mount Taranaki on the West Coast... she set off on the 29th December.

She had a small amount of funding from the Federated Mountain Clubs and will be writing some articles for them and the NZ Wilderness Magazine about her journey.

You can find her website here.
