March seminars
The theme for this year's Otari March seminars is "Visions". The Otari-Wilton's Bush Trust has decided to celebrate those people from the Wellington Region who have not only had visions of enhancing the environment, protecting biodiversity and educating the public but who worked to make these visions a reality.
All seminars will be at the Otari Information Centre, Wilton Road, at 7.30pm on the following Tuesdays:
March 2. Charles Fleming - Environmental Patriot. Speaker: Mary McEwan
March 9. Off the Deep End - the Marine Education Centre. Speaker: Judy Hutt
March 16. Natural Wellington and the Karori Sanctuary. Speaker: Jim Lynch
March 23. Nga Manu - The Evolution of an Idea. Speaker: Peter McKenzie
