Kev the wandering kiwi

Join us around the Hutt Valley Regional Parks to walk the beautiful tracks and meet Kev the Kiwi along the way - the kids will love this!
 
Kev the Wandering Kiwi Walks is a series of guided walks around the Hutt Valley regional parks for families and inactive people.  The programme has been running since 2006 Walks are around one hour duration on iconic and well formed park tracks accessible to most people.
 
Participants are guided around the walk by the local ranger and the programme mascot Kev the wandering kiwi makes appearances in the bush and in the tracks to the delight of the children.

The 2010 January programme is over four successive Thursday mornings on the following tracks.

7 January	Tane’s Track, Tunnel Gulley Recreation Area, Pakuratahi Forest
14 January	Gum’s Loop Track, Wainuomata Waterworks and Recreation Area
21 January	Poet’s Park, Hutt River Trail
28 Jauary	Belmont Regional Park (Oakleigh St)

All walks start at 10am.  You are welcome to bring picnics and supplies to enjoy in the park following your walk.  Most tracks are suitable for all ages and abilities.

The programme is jointly managed by staff of Greater Wellington, Leisure Active (Hutt City Council) and Activation and Community Services (Upper Hutt City Council).  This partnership was created from the beginning arising out of the initial Active Communities project in the Hutt Valley.  In 2008 Sport Wellington became involved with two of the walks which are jointly promoted as part of the buggy walk programme.
