SUMMARY:Trip: Coastal Escarpment Edge at Whitireia Park
DESCRIPTION:Note 2nd Saturday of June to coincide with low tide. \nWe will botanise the lower slopes of the Whitireia coastal escarpment where it is accessible and the rocky platform at Rocky Bay. You will see Asplenium obtusatum\, Leptinella nana\, Veronica elliptica\, Euphorbia glauca\, Sonchus kirkii and Melicytus obovatus and other coastal taonga. This trip will be challenging as we will be climbing over boulders and the tracks up and down the escarpment are very steep. We may get wet feet\, however the tide will be ebbing until 1.40pm. We suggest you wear good boots and consider bringing a walking pole or two and binoculars. Check with Robyn if you are uncertain about the terrain. \nIf the weather is too extreme to be on the escarpment\, we will botanise Gillies Reserve in Ranui Porirua off Gillies Place. \nMeet: 9.30am at the concrete pads on Whitireia Road\, off Thornley Street\, Titahi Bay \nPublic Transport: 8.14am train on the Kapiti line to Porirua. Bus 220 at 8.41am at Porirua Station\, get off at Thornley Street. Walk up the road to the concrete pads. \nCo-leaders: Robyn Smith 027 437 2497 and Andrew Jinks (Porirua City Council Nursery)

SUMMARY:Trip: Northern Forest\, East Harbour Regional Park\, Wainuiomata
DESCRIPTION:We will climb the Puriri Track through kānuka and hard beech to the Main Ridge Track.  We’ll then head south as far as the junction with Rata Ridge Track\, passing black beech\, kamahi\, and pockets of scrub\, before returning the same way (c. 2 hours return if not botanising).  The forest is reasonably diverse for flowering plants and ferns.  Epiphytic orchids are common\, including a few good patches of Drymoanthus.  Other species of conservation interest include the fern Lindsaea linearis and the sedge Morelotia affinis.  The clay surface makes for interesting plants in places\, but can be slippery when wet. \nMeet: 9.30 am at the entrance to the Puriri Track\, about 100 m north-west of the junction of Puriri Street with Wainuiomata Road.  Drivers should park on Puriri Street\, taking care not to create a traffic hazard for the residents.  Stop 9901 for Bus 170 is nearby for those taking public transport. \nCo-Leaders: Lara Shepherd\, email lara.shepherd@tepapa.govt.nz\, phone 027 363 5854; and Leon Perrie\, email leon.perrie@ tepapa.govt.nz\, phone 027 419 1378.
