Bugs and books at Brooker Forest - Red Zone Mānuka Stories

Hunt for bugs, explore with Bugbot, read a book and craft with Green Lab at the Te Kohanga Taiao Sensory Nature Play Park, Brooker Forest.

Join Park Rangers, Outreach librarians and the creatives at Green Lab to explore the sensory play space at Brooker Forest and find all things bug-related! 

Use the GoBOTS app and explore the space with the help of your AI guide BUGBOT!

Do some hands-on crafty things with Green Lab. Put your buggy blindfolds on and test yourself on the sensory trail. Become a scientist and help the rangers find out what's living in the Brooker Forest with the help of sweep nets and beating trays. 

Read up about bugs with the help of the outreach library van.
