I was awarded another opportunity of placing an Adventure Lab and decided to create it at a lesser known location within easy reach for both long and short term visitors. It plays a part with the hands-on education of children and is participated in by more than twenty schools of the Nelson/Tasman region.
Coronation Forest was the idea of Arnold Cork, who was the Senior Agricultural Instructor for the Nelson Education Board in the early 1950s.
He realised that forestry was destined to play a major role in the New Zealand economy and thought that the best way for children to appreciate this was for them to be involved in their own forest,
In 1953 schools were given a supply of tree seeds to establish their own small nurseries to raise seedlings and supply tree stocks for planting the following year. As the seedlings were grown during the year that Queen Elizabeth II was crowned, the forest was named Coronation Forest.
The seedlings were planted in Coronation Forest in 1954, covering six hectares.
Nelson Forests’ staff and contractors look forward to the event each year, with the workers involved volunteering to be part of the day, running activities and acting as guides for each school group as well as cooking sausages and preparing hot chocolate for the children.
The children are also taken through a block of protected indigenous trees within the forest and are taught about different plants, insects, and birds in the area.
