Hosted by Kaipātiki Project

Join us for EcoFest 2023 and make your mark in this significant ecological area

We are a group of regular volunteers, led by an expert ecologist each week, to ensure that the native flora and fauna in this unique reserve are healthy and protected. Learn, make friends, care for the earth, and explore nature.

Kaipātiki Project has been restoring and preserving the Eskdale Reserve since 1998. In addition to restoration planting, pest control and weeding activities, we are working with kākahi/freshwater mussels, titiwai/glowworms and pekapeka/bats.

Bring along your gloves (if you have), water bottle, and closed-toe footwear. We will be following all appropriate Health & Safety measures to ensure everyone's safety.

Thank you for all your help and we look forward to seeing you.
