Join us at Zealandia Te Māra a Tāne for an exciting evening to celebrate Michael Szabo’s new book Wild Wellington Ngā Taonga Taiao: A guide to the wildlife and wild places of Te Upoko-o-te-Ika, published by Te Papa Press.

Learn more about this fabulous guide to the incredible wildlife of the Wellington region, and Zealandia’s place in it, in a kōrero with the author himself. Plus you'll even get the opportunity to get your own copy of the book signed.

As an exciting addition to this special event, choose your ticket option to include an exclusive after hours tour of the Zealandia sanctuary. Experience the dusk chorus as your Zealandia tour guide shares with you the stories of translocations and restorations that have built this sanctuary into the Wellington icon it is today. 

The kōrero will be held in the Pāteke Room on the second floor of the Visitor Centre at Zealandia .
