We had picture-perfect weather at last month’s Discover Pupukemoana 2026. Much fun was had by all, from learning to snorkel and kayak, flax weaving, creating with cardboard and potting herbs, to learning about the ecology of Lake Pupuke and its surrounding Killarney Park. To top it off, there were delicious homemade sausages and baking on offer to fundraise for plants and our youth group, Rangatahi Restore Together. Congratulations to the three lucky kayak package winners sponsored by the Auckland Council’s biosecurity team. Thanks to our fantastic partners: Devonport-Takapuna Local Board, Auckland Council, Mountains to Sea Conservation Trust and Fantail and Turtle.
