Guided Walk: Lichen

Cornwall Park is a biodiversity hotspot for lichens when compared with most urban areas. This guided walk will cover a range of different habitats from exotic and native tree bark, a natural rock outcrop and constructed basalt walls. You will discuss what lichens are, why they are important and how we can conserve them.

Registration is essential and numbers are limited. To register email info@cornwallpark.co.nz with your name and contact number and the number of participants.

Please dress for the weather conditions, wear sturdy shoes and bring a drink bottle with you.

Meet at the Huia Lodge Discovery Hub at 10 am. The walk will run for approximately 1 hour.

The NZ COVID Tracer QR Code will be present at this event and all participants will be expected to scan the code. The code is also placed around the park, in public toilets and within Huia Lodge Discovery Hub. We ask that all participants continue with their basic hygiene practices while at the event and in the park. This includes hand hygiene (washing for 20 seconds, drying thoroughly or using hand sanitiser), coughing or sneezing into your elbow, and avoiding touching your face.
