We will do a quick march to the bottom of Waitewaewae Track and then botanise up until it’s time to come home. The area was logged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, but there has been significant regeneration. We will hopefully see a selection of ferns (including Lindsaea trichomanoides and Cranfillia nigra), two species of raukawa, and other forest delights.

Meet: 9.30 am Waikanae Station north-end car park from where we will share transport to Boielles Flat campsite & picnic area. Train: 8.14 am train on Kāpiti Line from Wellington Station to Waikanae Station.
