Enjoy a guided tour around the unique Wairakei Golf & Sanctuary and the Crombie Lockwood Kiwi Burrow, with Save the Kiwi, Greening Taupō and the Department of Conservation. This is a very special opportunity to learn about how local partners are working together as kaitiaki for some of our most precious flora and fauna.
