Welcome to the
​ Auckland Natural History Club

 REGRETFULLY - ALL WALKS
CANCELLED UNTIL
​FURTHER NOTICE
​

It's all about enjoying our forests, lakes, rivers and coastlines  and the trees, plants and birdlife we find there.  And it's about sometimes exploring hidden gems of places you might not know exist  - and it's about learning about the natural world  and making friends.  

​We walk on alternate Sundays and use a chartered bus to get to and from the track.  Bus pickup points are Constellation Drive, Point Chevalier and Greenlane.  See   Bus Stops & Timetable


NEW MEMBERS ARE WELCOME    See  Contact Us
