The Manawatū Estuary Trust (MET) undertakes its educational responsibilities seriously and offers a range of activities, which includes its events, to both schools and members of the public enabling a better understanding of this outstanding area. All enquiries should be made via the contact form on the support MET page.

Another organisation which offers educational experiences around the estuary is Wildlife Foxton Trust (WFT). Their new website, since the recent move to Foxton Beach, is still under construction but contains contact details for enquiries from school visits.

Both offer a variety of activities ranging from birdwatching, mini beast searches, plant education (via weeding sessions) and a popular activity for schools is the Marine Metre Square (Mm²) program, data from which is fed into Otago University database, a Citizen Science project. Enquiries for this should be sent to Wildlife Foxton Trust.

Both Trusts work with other organisations to fulfill both their educational and research aims including Horowhenua District Council, Horizons District Council and Department of Conservation, plus individuals that specialise in particular aspects of wildlife, environment and culture of the area.
