Join W**d specialists Illona Keenan and Nigel Charman for an eye-opening seminar on some of Pōneke’s most persistent plant invaders. Discover why these species are such a challenge, how they spread, and what it takes to mobilise community action against them. Come curious and leave inspired by the power of collective effort to help protect our native spaces.
Located in Tāne Whakapiripiri, Ōtari Visitor Centre. Gold coin donation. No need to book, just turn up!
This seminar is part of the Ōtari-Wilton’s Bush Trust’s annual seminar series. This year, they are on the first Tuesday of the month, March – November, to celebrate 100 years of Ōtari-Wilton’s Bush.
