Bush skills will be the focus of a family-orientated ‘Explorer Day’ at Pukeiti on Sunday (6 December).

Participants will learn skills for survival in the forest, such as building a bush shelter and making fire. Activities will run from 10.30am to 2pm.

Participants should bring water, good walking shoes, a hat and sunblock. Founders Café will be open or bring your own picnic lunch.

Pukeiti Explorer Days are held every two months, providing garden/bush based activities that entertain and inspire creativity among the whole family. They are part of a year-round programme of free public events at Pukeiti, Tupare and Hollard Gardens, the three heritage properties owned and administered by the Taranaki Regional Council on behalf of the people of the region.

For more information, see www.pukeiti.org.nz, www.tupare.info and www.hollardgardens.info. Social media users can also follow the three Taranaki Regional Council Gardens on Facebook (TaranakiRegionalGardens) and Twitter (@TaranakiRG).
