Join Kids Greening Taupō for a journey into the heart of Opepe, a remnant of native bush in Taupō. Connect with nature as you immerse yourself in the beauty of this untouched natural landscape. Encounter the intriguing insects residing within the leaf litter, uncovering a hidden world beneath your feet. Learn about the exceptional plant life and its vital role in the biodiversity of the region. Conclude with your packed lunch or choose to explore at your own pace—your adventure, your way.
