NATURE DISCOVERY- WHICH NZ NATIVE TREE IS THAT Stephen ? - Waitakere Ranges

Join us for some nature connection today as we learn to identify New Zealand Native Trees and some plants and ferns and birds today typically seen in the Waitakere Ranges and other places when we are out hiking.

Using my favourite author Andrew Crowe's unique leaf key to identify trees, by the shape of the leaves, and other things we'll learn today, you'll be able to quickly help yourself tell the difference between a Kauri Tree and a Rimu Tree...or identify a Pohutukawa Tree...and others using the things we see along the ground ...like leaves, seeds and fruits..

WHEN- Saturday March 7th. 2026.

Meet and Greet is 2pm with a finish at 5pm..

WHERE MEETING- Arataki Information Centre Carpark
