City Nature Challenge

What are we living amongst in the city?

During Conservation Week, join us for a family-friendly biodiversity day at Te Papanui / Jubilee Bush. This event is all about raising awareness of urban biodiversity through education, interactive stalls, and hands-on stations for tamariki and adults.

Kirikiriroa is home to more wildlife than most people realise. Native birds, lizards, insects, plants, and even pekapeka (our native bats) are living alongside us in our parks, gardens, and backyards. This event is a chance to slow down, look closely, and learn more about the species that share this city with us.

On the day, you can:

– Visit educational stalls and learn about native and invasive species

– Explore Te Papanui / Jubilee Bush and the surrounding park
