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 Waitangi Park and finish at Prince of Wales park in Mt Cook where the Papawai branch of the stream flows in its forest cloaked headwaters. 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 (2.5 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 grass at Waitangi Park (note walk finishes at Prince of Wales Park)
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
