Cody Burgess: Year 10 Personal Challenge
Goal: Kayak from Te Haruhi Bay on the southern tip of Whangaparaoa Peninsula, navigate around the eastern side of Tiri Tiri Matangi Island returning to Army Bay on the Northern Eastern Tip of Whangapararaoa Peninsula.
Aim: Raise community awareness for the Shakespear Open Sanctuary project and the importance of the link between birds migrating between Tiri Tiri Matangi Island bird sanctuary and the predator free Shakespear Open Sanctuary now being built on the mainland.
Contribution: Seek sponsorship, the proceeds raised going to the Shakespear Open Sanctuary Society Incorporated.
Shakespear Open Sanctuary is a community initiative, in partnership with the Auckland Regional Council, Rodney District Council and New Zealand Defence Force, joining forces to create a open and accessible wildlife sanctuary which integrates recreation, conservation and farming and which provides a source and a linkage for native bird species to repopulate the Whangaparaoa peninsula.
