Join experts Julia Kaspar and Phil Sirvid for a fascinating walk into the world of Aotearoa’s flies and the spiders who love them. These small creatures might make some of us shudder, but they play vital roles in healthy ecosystems. Discover their surprising lives and why even the tiniest critters deserve a closer look.
Meet at Tāne Whakapiripiri, Ōtari Visitor Centre. It is easy walking and family groups are welcome.
This is part of the Ōtari-Wilton’s Bush Trust’s annual guided walks programme. This year, they are on the fourth Sunday of the month, March – November, to celebrate 100 years of Ōtari-Wilton’s Bush.
Join the Trust for only $20 for an individual or $30 for a double/family for a year and all the walks will be free, as well as other great benefits. www.owbt.nz/memberships-legacies/
