Eco Talk – Wilding Free Mackenzie

We welcome Haeleigh Turner from Wilding Free Mackenzie, a community-led trust working to protect the iconic landscapes of the Mackenzie Basin from invasive wilding pines. Formed by local landowners, the trust runs volunteer days, coordinates with government and local partners, and educates landowners on restoring native habitats. Their work is vital for preserving biodiversity, safeguarding water resources, and reducing wildfire risks. Hear from Haeleigh about their hands-on efforts to keep the Mackenzie wild and thriving.

7pm – 9pm, speaker, Q and A, finishing with supper.

There will be a cover charge of $10 for this event to go towards supper and travel costs for Haeleigh to visit us from Twizel.

Thank you for your support!
