Join us in celebrating Matariki, the Māori New Year! On the 28th of June, the cluster of stars, Mānawatia a Matariki, reappears. Matariki is a time to come together and connect with your whānau and home.
This year, to celebrate, we are hosting a series of night tours at our Sylvan Park in Milford. Our tour will begin with Muriwai Junger, who will introduce us to Matariki and the significance of the stars in Māori culture. Following this, we will explore the fascinating nocturnal creatures in our reserves, including insects, arachnids, aquatic life such as fish and eels, and other night-dwelling animals. These creatures, often unseen during the day, come alive at night.
This 1-hour guided night tour at our local park concludes with a cup of hot chocolate to warm up. This event is suitable for all ages 5 years and older.
