Eye on Nature EcoFest
Hosted by the Beautification Trust, this month-long free festival is packed with events and activities for South Auckland whānau to connect with the environment.
Engage with nature, learn how to be more sustainable and get inspired to take the small steps that make a big difference for our future.
Check out the full programme at www.beautification.org.nz....
Experience engaging workshops, educational displays and a fun-filled activity trail for all ages at the Auckland Botanic Gardens. Plus, check out our online workshops, webinars and activities that you and your whānau can enjoy from home.
Eye on Nature EcoFest is made possible by a huge range of community organisations, groups, businesses and individuals sharing their skills, knowledge and passion for the environment.
This year, our Eye on Nature EcoFest theme is Incredible Kai. Not only does kai (food) nourish us and keep our bodies healthy, but our relationship with kai also affects the health of the planet. Food security and sustainability are becoming increasingly important on our collective journey to a greener future.
All aspects of Eye on Nature EcoFest adhere to the government’s COVID-19 red light settings. To keep our community safe, My Vaccine Pass and face masks are required for all in-person workshops.
Eye on Nature EcoFest is hosted by the Beautification Trust and supported by Auckland Council, Auckland Botanic Gardens, Howick Local Board, Papakura Local Board, Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board, Franklin Local Board, Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board, Manurewa Local Board and our amazing partners and sponsors from around New Zealand.
