NGA MANU - GOLD COIN DAY

On 7 June between 10am - 5pm we have our Gold Coin Community Day.  Pack a picnic and come and enjoy a fun family day out in nature.  You will experience both forest and wetland habitats and our walk-through aviaries and nocturnal house offer close-up encounters with our rare NZ wildlife. Our ‘Bird’s Eye Trail’ gives you the opportunity to view Nga Manu plants through the eyes of birds as you explore our network of all-weather, buggy friendly trails. Or discover our dunes and swamps on the 'Humps and Hollows Trail'.

At 2 pm (rain or shine) watch the Nga Manu eels being fed – purchase an eel feeding token for $2 to have a go at feeding an eel yourself.  Join our free guided forest walk at 2:15pm - meet at our eel pond after the eel feeding.

Your gold coin donation goes to the non-profit Nga Manu Trust, which contributes to national and local conservation through its involvement in many species breeding programmes such as for kiwi, tuatara, whio/blue duck, as well as endangered lizard species and plant conservation. Thank you!
