Guided Nature Ramble and Art Session

We've teamed up with Kiwi North to offer a playful nature ramble and art session during the Spring school holidays, featuring a visit from a special critter!

Your adventure starts with a guided nature ramble through Millington Bush in Heritage Park, led by botanist Sean Brill.

Sean's tour will be followed by a fun nature-art activity, where you'll make your own bug from the leaves and vegetation you have collected along the way.

One of Kiwi North's Conservation and Native Species Keepers will also visit you with an extraordinary indigenous critter!

Arrive at Kiwi North reception at 10:15am for a 10:30am start.

Don't forget to wear shoes suitable for walking in the bush!

This event is being held in association with Play Week, an annual event led by Sport New Zealand to promote the value of play across Aotearoa.

Here in Whangārei, Play Week activities will be based around celebrating some of our local native creatures – the bat, praying mantis, kauri snail and gecko – and their special attributes.

Play Week officially runs from Monday 20 October to Sunday 26 October 2025.
