Waimanawa Spotlighting

Learn about what comes alive at night in your local stream with the Mountains to Sea team and Friends of Le Roys Bush.

We will be leading a guided walk and spot lighting event to showcase the biodiversity of this awa. See bullies, banded kokopu, inanga, macroinvertebrates, glow worms and more! Learn about the journey the awa takes from the mountains to the sea and hear about the amazing mahi that the Friends of Le Roys Bush are doing to restore the surrounding catchment.

Registrations are essential for this event.
