Join us for an evening of short presentations, good conversation and kai. It’s a chance to reflect on how far the movement has come, swap ideas and experiences and look ahead to how we can best support each other in the years ahead.

Come hear project updates, milestones and innovations from Capital Kiwi and Predator Free Wellington. The Predator Free New Zealand Trust will also share the latest on national momentum and the growing support for the Predator Free 2050 mission.

Come along, have a yarn and share a drink with others in the movement.
