This walk is part of the "Many Walks of Wellington's Streams" event for the Wellington Heritage Festival 2024. This approx 3 hour walk will work its way upstream from the current connection between the stream and harbour at the Taranaki Wharf ‘jumping platform’ (near bottom of Taranaki Street) and finish at the top end of Holloway Road (Aro Valley) where the Waimapihi still flows in its forest cloaked headwaters alive with birdsong. A sad tale of lost connection, colonial destruction and missed opportunities, Waimaphihi is a true example of many of our once thriving urban awa that needs to be told to inform future decision making. Along the way we will explore the history of the stream, the ecological importance of the once abundant waterways and wetlands, the legacy issues with historical decisions around urban water management and the potential to transform our city to again celebrate and respect our urban awa and the biodiversity they sustain. The walk will be hosted by Ecological Engineer and local stream lover, Stu Farrant.

This event will have a capacity of 40 people and due to the length of the walk (3 kms) a reasonable level of fitness will be required.

All precaution will be taken by the hosts but as we will be crossing busy streets, all participants will be required to sign a health and safety waiver to ensure they can take responsibility for their own safety during the duration of the walk.
Children under 16 will need to be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

Meet on the Taranaki Wharf by jumping platform (note walk finishes at top of Holloway Road)

This event will have a reserve day of 17 Nov in the event of poor weather on the scheduled day
This is a koha event

*Note: Please follow the Facebook page for any updates to the walk including weather postponement.
