If you're in Ōtautahi-Christchurch city, NZ, next Sunday, and are keen for a nature walk, well, you're in luck!

As part of the city's annual Walking Festival, Noah Fenwick and I will be leading a walk/explore around Waikākāriki Horseshoe Lake. We're two local iNaturalist fanatics and ecologists and are keen to see what we can find around this restored city wetland.

The walk starts at 10 am and will go for about three hours.

All welcome!

On Sunday 26 April, I'll be leading another nature walk in Ōtautahi-Christchurch, this time from the Sign of the Takahe to the Botanic Gardens. That's part of the four-day City Nature Challenge.

It's a terrific walk designed to take us through many of the city's nature filled nooks and crannies.

Again, all welcome. We leave from the Sign of the Takahe (by the bus stop for the No 1 Cashmere bus) at 9:45 am.

If you don't have the time to commit to the full walk, you can join us for the first part walking to the South Library, or from the South Library to the Art Gallery, or for the final stint from the Art Gallery to the Botanic Gardens.

Below are some photos from the previous two years we've done this walk.
