From Te Wai Ōrea to Te Tokaroa

Liz October 5th, 2024

More than thirty people made up the group for the hikoi on 5 October.

Chris Severne showed the work of the Blue Greens by the NW motorway. Near Pasadena, Whitebait Connection explained the sensitivity of the young Galaxids to frequent overflows.

After just one major downpour the group walked on to Te Tokaroa Meola Reef. There Ben Goodwin pointed out both common and unusual plants in a 10,000 year old landscape.

Many thanks to Rhiannon, Ben, Chris, and Sel for their talks. Also Chris and Paul for organising the walk, and MP Helen White for joining us all to see nature in the city.
