Our Reading Group takes place on the first and third Thursday of the month. Reading group 7 November:
Michael Szabo – Wild Wellington
Hot off the Te Papa Press Wild Wellington is the most up-to-date guide to the wildlife and wild places of Te Upoko-o-te-Ika.
Written by well-known chronicler of all things native and natural Michael Szabo, along with contributions from Te Papa’s expert Natural History and Mātauranga Māori teams, the flexibind reference book presents a valuable insight into the region’s natural world. Wild Wellington illustrates the true richness of the interconnected nature of Pōneke and Te Upoko-o-te-Ika.
A sneak peek will let you in on the best paces and times of year to experience everything from migrating birds to seals hauling out, dolphin pods and orca in the harbour, to the recovery of once-threatened native bird species in action, the region’s special flowering plants to the oldest native trees, and the conservation efforts that ensure that our local wildlife survives and flourishes.
Book sales will be available on the day. Friends receive a 30% discount on the book at the talk.
Please register for this group by booking your free ticket. We will meet by the blue couches by the display of the Treaty of Waitangi on level 4 at 1.50pm.
