Check out Ash Muralidhar (Rotokare Scenic Reserve Trust) and Emily Roberts (Taranaki Regional Council), joining forces to find out what bugs, birds, lizards, and plants live in your garden! Each week, they will be sharing cool creatures, fun activities, and awesome trivia on Aotearoa’s native urban species; then you can head outside to explore your own backyard with your whānau! Episodes will be posted at 10:00 am every Tuesday and Friday on this website and on the Backyard Biodiversity - Taiao Taiepa Ki Tua Facebook page.
