World Wetlands Day and Taupo Swamp

Zealandia te Māra a Tāne and Conservation Volunteers will run a working bee at Taupō Swamp to celebrate World Wetlands Day. It will be on Sunday the 30^th of January from 10-2pm and you are very welcome to come along or share with any groups you think might like to be involved. We aim to have a big whānau day out where anyone can get involved in restoration in a social atmosphere.

The details are below,

Join the Conservation Volunteers, Zealandia Te Māra a Tāne, and Friends of Tāupo Swamp to get your hands dirty removing weeds in this unique habitat. Taupō swamp is home to 19 species of bird, a diverse range of plants, native fish such as the longfin eel and kokopu - a treasure for native wildlife right on our doorstep.

You can just turn up or pre-register on the Conservation Volunteers Website here (Link coming mid-December). To learn more about this amazing habitat visit https://www.tauposwamp.org/current-projects

What to wear/bring: Sturdy boots, long sleeves, and long trousers. Ensure you pack warm clothes such as a jacket, beanie, jumper and a rain jacket to protect you against wind and rain. Bring a full water bottle. We’ll provide gloves, tools, light refreshments, and sunscreen.

Free transport to and from Wellington and Porirua city centre is available but spots are limited (contact Conservation Volunteers to arrange a pick-up).
