Rotorua U3A Forum, Wed Feb 20, Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari

Ali from Lynmore

Rotorua U3A presents: Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari ~ the project: the past, current status and future plans

Did you know there’s an ancient forest on our doorstep, just one hour from Rotorua?
An ecological delight, this 3,400 hectare mountain is protected by a 46km pest proof fence to enable native wildlife to be released. Sanctuary manager Geoff Churchill will update us at Rotorua U3A’s February forum on developments in the Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari project.
He’ll explain in depth what Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari actually is and how the Maungatautari Ecological Island Trust works towards achieving its mission.
He’ll be touching on the natural history of the maunga (mountain) and also looking at the successes and the challenges to date and at the future of this enduringly ambitious project over the next five, ten and 50 years.
Who: U3A's guest speaker, Geoff Churchill, sanctuary manager, Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari
What: The Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari project: past history, current developments and future plans.

When: 10am Wednesday February 20. Doors open at 9.30 with refreshments.
Where: Bridge Club Rooms, Neil Hunt Park, Lynmore, Rotorua
Visitors warmly welcome with gold coin entry.
