In 2017 we celebrated our 50th, and to celebrate this milestone we published 'The First 50 Years' book which includes our amazing achievements🤩This would not be possible for the hundreds of volunteers who have helped the Trust with its work over this period.
Thank You to all 🙏

Fascinating. Heaps of the stuff on #OtagoPeninsula . I’ve had a minor sting or 2 in my time and always knew it could be dangerous though thought that it was mostly anecdotal. Not any more. Tree nettle is deadly!

What a day on the #OtagoPeninsula ! A castle, albatross, fur seals, giant petrels and so much sunshine! Tomorrow sees more looking around and hopefully more sun ☀️ #NZ #roadtrip #Dunedin
