The Catlins' landscape and tourist attractions and the needs
of small-community residents will be explored by Lincoln
University Bachelor of Landscape Architecture students during
a three-day field trip to Owaka this week.
Twenty-two students and two facilitators will arrive in Owaka
tomorrow and meet local people in the Owaka Community Centre
tomorrow night.
Catlins Promotions spokeswoman Raewyn Martin said students
had to "gain a familiarity with the landscape of a small part
of New Zealand, and engage with the local communities".
Previous tours have been to Stewart Island, Nelson, Auckland,
the West Coast and Singapore.
