Join rangers, community and experts as we explore the red zone spaces in and around the proposed Waitākiri Eco-Sanctuary and the Ōtakaro Avon River corridor.
Our team of rangers and experts will be based at 7 Brooker Avenue and exploring the red zone from this field ‘hub’. Join us to walk and discover our hidden biodiversity.
Bring the family to play on Green Lab's new nature play-space and make wētā apartments. Research plants and animals with the Council libraries outreach van and do a scavenger hunt. Explore the sounds of soil with Ben McEwan of Canterbury Uni Computer Science department.
Avon Ōtākaro Forest Park crew will be there to guide us through their planting site and explore what lives in Corser Stream.
Guided walks along the river corridor will set off at various times throughout the day with members of the Waitākiri EcoSanctuary.
With the iNaturalist app and expert guidance, let's explore, record, and celebrate the flourishing life within this regenerating landscape together! All you need is a pair of walking shoes and a smart phone with the iNaturalist app downloaded. Bring a picnic and make a day of it!
