TTC Centenary Celebration Day Tramp
2019-06-30 09:45 - 15:00
In October 1919 the newly formed Tararua Tramping Club ran its first trip from Johnston’s Hill in Karori, to Mt Kaukau in preparation for the first trips into the Tararuas. Not so straightforward back then, eight hours was allowed and two people went the wrong way in mist and ended up in the Ohariu valley.
As part of the TTC Centenary Celebrations they are re-running this trip, on Sunday the 30th of June, without losing anyone. WTMC Members are all invited to participate in this unique celebration.
Check out the TTC Centenary webpage for further details.

Mountain to Sea - Freshwater in the New Zealand - Mike Joy
2019-06-05 19:00 | Google Hangouts, 4 Moncrieff Street, Mount Victoria, Wellington, 6011, New Zealand
Senior Researcher at the Institute for Governance and Policy Studies at Victoria University Wellington, Mike Joy will be talking about his work examining freshwater in New Zealand:
“Our streams rivers lakes and groundwater are being degraded as we intensify agriculture and housing in New Zealand. Unfortunately, the freshwater policies developed over at least the last ten years in New Zealand have moved further from their scientific underpinnings with each new iteration. For the fish in our waterways the connection to the ocean is crucial as are the connections between the land and the freshwater. This talk will discuss the importance of all the connections and why we need to lift our game on protecting all freshwater.”
Mike has recently published From Mountains to Sea: Solving New Zealand’s Freshwater Crisis.
