Bat Evening - Owhango Alive

Join Owhango Alive for an educational evening about bats and other local wildlife.

The evening will begin with a barbeque and a showing of the documentary Battling Extinction at the Owhango Pavillion and hall. As dusk approaches, we will head out to Ohinetonga Scenic reserve with bat detectors to see if we can catch a glimpse of these rare creatures which were recently confirmed to be present in the area.

Following sunset, we will do a short walk with head torches around the Ohinetonga reserve –and see if we can spot some bioluminescent fungi and nighttime creatures such as eels. Suitable for families; bring good walking shoes and a head torch
