Aro Valley is quickly taking the title of Eco Valley, as recently resident Julia Stace, Te Aro School and the Aro Valley Community Center have all had solar panels installed, which will produce their own renewable power. This will add to the valley’s legacy of already being a leader in community action.
In this two part series these Aro Valley initiators talk about what they think contributes to Aro Valleys constant action towards positive environmental change.
In part 1 resident Julia Stace ( far left) on why she installed photo Voltaic cells on her home and Charles Barrie (centre) from Aro Valley’s community gardens on the surprising benefits of the community gardens and his idea on a vision for Aro Valley.

I had the pleasure of being able to talk to Jacqui Hooper, our devoted Primate Keeper at . She has recently returned from her second working Volunteer trip at the so she could understand more about the now endangered Chimpanzee’s.
