Carpark at the southern end of Tamworth Crescent, Newlands, Wellington
NOTE: A Change from advertised programme due to closure of Matiu/Somes Island)
Walk the track Te Ara Paparārangi, including Gilberd Bush Reserve, from Tamworth Crescent to Waihinahina Park, and back. With a locally good diversity of small trees (including large kānuka), ferns (including Leptopteris hymenophylloides), herbaceous flowering plants (native and weedy), and bryophytes (including Lopidium and Treubia), there is interest for everyone. The track is good, but some might want to bring a walking pole for a few short, steep sections. It’s a slow one hour one-way, and longer still when botanising.
Meet: 9.30 am in the carpark at the southern end of Tamworth Crescent, Newlands. Bus: route 52, to Somes Crescent, and walk to Tamworth Crescent.
