Our Stories
Titiwai Walk
On a crisp, clear evening under a starry sky, over 40 excited participants—many of them tamariki as young as five—gathered in Eskdale Reserve for a special Guided Titiwai (Glowworm) Walk in celebration of Matariki.
Mud, Magic and Mauri
When you think of flood protection, wetlands probably aren’t the first thing that comes to mind. But in the heart of Kaipātiki, nature is showing us a better way. Wetlands — those lush, spongy, sometimes muddy corners of the landscape are one of our best defences against flooding.
