Taranaki Mahood-Lowe Reserve Official Opening

This wetland forest is a valuable and rare ecosystem, home to a multitude of species of New Zealand flora and fauna. And it’s now safe forever, thanks to the wonderful generosity of NFRT supporters who helped purchase it. We would be thrilled if you are able to join us at the official opening to celebrate.

You'll have the opportunity to learn more about the area and future plans for the reserve. You'll also have the opportunity to explore the area. Further details on the event are below.
