Coastal birds like tūturiwhatu (New Zealand dotterel) are facing shrinking habitats between rising sea levels and human developments on land.
The Horowhenua Branch encompasses the area between Foxton and Otaki. We currently have around 100 members. To find out more about the Horowhenua branch please contact our secretary Geoff Ritchie. See contact details below.
Get involved
We often have a guest speaker on a conservation-related topic, and we discuss our branches current activities and any issues in our area. During the summer we have two potluck picnics, one in December and one in January.
Branch Meetings
We hold monthly branch meetings, which are open to the public. These are held on the third Monday of the month at 1.30 p.m. at the Thompson House, Kent St Levin.
Each month we arrange a walk or outing to a local area of natural interest. These are open to anyone who would like to attend. Branch outings leave from Thompson House in Kent Street, Levin, and pick-ups are in Foxton, Shannon and Otaki. For more information on branch outings, see our Bi-monthly newsletter.
