'Bush Walk & Talk' is a series of five 2 hour educational walks aimed at enabling people to identify New Zealand native trees, plants and flowers as part of a comfortable stroll in a small, social group.
Presented by Margi Keys from Discovery Walks, the programme is offered through Kaipatiki Project (www.kaipatiki.org.nz). Each week a different North Shore bush reserve is explored - there is opportunity to stop and identify species as well as discuss the surroundings.
The series costs $50 for five Saturday morning walks. Walks take place rain or shine so bring a raincoat, sturdy shoes/boots as well as water to drink.
Places are limited to 12 people so booking is essential by phoning 09 482 1172 or email admin@kaipatiki.org.nz.
