Discover the Hidden Creatures of Our Streams! Dive into the secret world beneath the water’s surface at the Taupō Library.

Join Kids Greening Taupō for a hands-on session exploring freshwater macroinvertebrates — the tiny creatures that tell big stories about the health of our waterways. Together, we’ll uncover the vital connections between the health of te ngahere (the forest), the water, and all its inhabitants. You’ll investigate the fascinating life cycle of these underwater creatures as they transform into the winged insects that dance above our forest streams.

Check, Clean, Dry to stop the spread

Getting outdoors is a fantastic way to explore New Zealand, but it’s important to check, clean, and dry your gear to protect our environment. Check your boots, clothing, gear and equipment for weeds, seeds and pests, and clean thoroughly after each trip to prevent the spread of invasive species.
