When Sarni Hart made a spur of the moment lifestyle change from Auckland to Coromandel, she had no idea she was about to embark on an entirely new career and life direction.
These days the former Auckland school teacher is still drawing on her early educational roots, but has created her own classroom – one outside in nature.
Hart is striving to help educate both locals and tourists around the importance and value of New Zealand s native forests.
Part of her commitment to helping ensure the future of native trees like kauri is through helping spread the word around how to safely navigate the surrounding landscapes without causing harm or spreading disease like kauri dieback.
