Plant and Paddle Day
On Sunday 22 April from 10am Sinclair Wetlands (Te Nohoaka o Tukiauau) is hosting a "kayak open day" that will appeal to people from a variety of backgrounds with all levels of experience. Kayaking participants need to be over the age of 13. Children under 13 can take part in the tree planting activities. What a great way to celebrate Earth Day.
Before and after kayaking there will be the opportunity to help out with our re-vegetation (tree planting) programme, and view freshwater ecology displays. All Plants and tools will be provided.
Te Nohoaka o Tukiauau / Sinclair Wetlands is a 315-hectare privately-owned wetland. It is regarded as the largest and most important privately owned wetland in New Zealand.
The Sinclair wetland now consists of ponds, water channels, swamplands and a couple of scrub-covered islands. Over 60 species of bird live in or regularly visit the wetland. It is now privately owned by Te Rununga o Ngai Tahu.
