Whakatāne Kiwi Trust Dusk Chorus Walk -BirdsaPlenty Festival

Explore the bush at dusk, hear the night birds calling, discover nocturnal creepy-crawlies, take a look at the incredible glow-in-the-dark fungi and learn about the local flora/fauna and kiwi population. This is also a great chance to hear about the work being done by our amazing volunteers to protect our national icon and other native taonga.

This event is part of the 'Birds a Plenty Festival'
