A Summer Walk on The Spit: Water, Sand and Life.

Welcome to A Summer Walk on The Spit: Water, Sand and Life. Join us at Southshore Spit Reserve on February 15, 2026 at 09:30 AM (Pacific/Auckland Time). We will be making measurements, and observations to understand the nature of the processes and conditions on The Spit, think about the history that has led us to how the Spit currently is.

Public Transport, Route #60, overseen bicycle parking available. If you are coming by car please indicate on ticket so we can identify parking. Water and bathroom facilities available. Please dress to conditions, sunhats, sunblock, long sleeved shirts (we hope).

After the event, The Spit and beaches are ideal picnic venues.
