Saturday 1st February 10 am – 3 pm – 111 Bethells Road, Te Henga/Bethells, West Auckland.

Matuku Link joins World Wetlands Day with their annual Wetland Festival: games, stalls, food, guided walks, bird talks, bug hunts… and the opportunity to see the changes since we bought the property with your help in 2016 and spent thousands of volunteer hours improving the place, with two new boardwalks and a Wetland Education Centre.

All free and all welcome.

Try to find one of our wandering pāteke (brown teal), spot a secretive spotless crake or even our namesake matuku (bittern), or join one of our guided tours on bugs, birds, eels or flora & fauna. Two family activities every hour and ample time to chat to all our other conservation groups.

There will be an all day market with coffee, food, art and information from Forest & Bird Waitākere, Birds New Zealand, The Entomological Society, Whitebait Connection, Kauri Rescue, Auckland Council Biodiversity, Auckland Zoo, PestFreeWaitakereRangesAlliance (PFWRA), plus our famous home baking and BBQ (vegan and non-vegan).

We’d love you to join us on this special day.

111 Bethells Road, Te Henga, West Auckland See you there for a fun filled family day!
