“The Waimakariri Young Environmental Film Makers (WYEFM) competition is a community-led initiative being organised by a small group of Waimakariri women with support from Rangiora Town Hall Cinemas, Waimakariri District Council greenspace team, the Waimakariri Biodiversity Trust, Eco Educate, and Enviroschools.
“The competition is open to Waimakariri primary school pupils, or home-schooled pupils, aged 10-13.
“It was inspired by two short environmental films, Plastic Straw Free Rangiora, which was made in 2018 by North Loburn School pupils, and Vote the Wrybill for Bird Of The Year, made last year by Pegasus Bay School pupils.” – Shelley Topp, ODT
