The South Canterbury Museum’s last exhibition for the year is giving nature a voice.
The exhibition, ‘‘Forest & Bird: Local People Protecting and Restoring Nature’’, will be running until April 1 next year.
Museum director Philip Howe said the exhibition’s focus was ‘‘twofold’’.
Nationally, it celebrated 100 years since Forest & Bird began, but it would also celebrate what the South Canterbury branch — which was established in 1959 — had achieved.
‘‘Locally it has been — and still is — very active.’’
He felt the exhibition was ‘‘a snapshot of our heritage’’, and without the organisation, the region would have lost a lot more.
