๐ŸŒ… History of Environmental Change in the Kaipara ๐ŸŒ…

Ann-Narie Petty-OShea from Whangarei District Libraries

Archaeologist James Robinson will talk about the Kaipara, a shallow drowned valley with extensive rivers and waterways, forming the second-largest estuarine harbour in the Southern Hemisphere. Its rich environment was extremely conducive for Mฤori and European utilisation and settlement. However, this resulted in significant, though not fully understood, environmental change.
James will examine archaeological and historical evidence to try to understand the causes of this change.
