Glendowie Stream Guided Spotlight Walk

Join us for a torch lit walk along Glendowie Stream and discover what nocturnal creatures call this stream home! Join us for a free evening torch lit walk of your local Glendowie Stream that flows through Churchill Park. We should see native fish and eels that come alive at night, and enjoy exploring the native forest! Hear from Mountains to Sea Conservation Trust about a special project to help restore native freshwater fish to Glendowie Stream Stream, supported by the Ōrakei Local Board and Auckland Council Healthy Waters. Friends of Churchill Park will chat about the restoration mahi underway in this lovely reserve. Enjoy a hot cuppa and biscuits afterwards (extra bikkies if you BYO cup :) Bring a torch, closed shoes and warm clothes. We will provide spare torches.
