International Climate Action Day - Ahipara Gumlands Walk


On 24 October, people in 181 countries came together for the most widespread day of environmental action in the planet's history. At over 5200 events around the world, people gathered to call for action on the climate crisis. For more information on International Climate Action Day and 350.org, please click here.

As part of International Climate Action Day in New Zealand, the Far North Environment Centre organised a guided tour of the Ahipara Gumlands with Kevin Matthews as ornithological and botanical expert to help interpret this stunning and unique habitat. The guided walk gave an opportunity to come and learn about the taonga of the gumlands and discover that there is more to this intriguing environment than just great views and lots of wind!
