Kaitiaki Ecosystem Map Worksheet
A streamside ecosystem
Hemi and Hugo are helping care for a stream beside a patch of native bush. They record these observations: kōwhai trees make seeds and provide nectar; a caterpillar eats kōwhai leaves; a tūī drinks nectar and eats insects; a morepork hunts small birds and insects. A streamside rock pool contains algae, which use sunlight to make food. In this place, plants and algae are producers. Animals are consumers.
