Rewild Festival on the table

Conducting their annual outdoor meeting beneath Deow’s tui mural in Orari St, Dunedin, yesterday are Wild Dunedin committee members (clockwise from left) Suzanne Middleton (with her dog Willow), Nicki Tonkin, Norcombe Barker, Steph Godfrey, Laura Keller, Rachel Cooper, Kerry Buchan, Neil Harraway, Emma Salmon and Jeannie Hayden.

The committee is planning the next Rewild Festival (April 22-28), which celebrates Dunedin’s wildlife, increases understanding of its plants and animals, profiles Dunedin groups working to protect natural resources and showcases New Zealand’s wild heritage to the world.

A wide variety of activities will be on offer during the festival, including talks, open days, a children’s programme, conservation events, guided walks, exhibitions and public participation at attractions.
