SUMMARY:Bird Aversion Training - Free
DESCRIPTION:Bird Avoidance Training is taking place on Aotea this Weekend on Sunday 2nd November in Okiwi\, Okupu\, Medlands and Tryphena. Bird Avoidance Training can minimise the threat of dogs injuring or killing native birds. Like people\, some dogs learn faster than others… \nYou can teach an old dog new tricks – but it may take a little longer\, so even if your\ndog has had training before\, we encourage you to put them through again this session. \nDetails: Sunday 2nd November\n9 – 10 AM at Okiwi Airstrip\n10.30-11.30 PM at Okupu Beach\n12-1.30 PM at Medlands Campground\n2 – 3 PM at Sunken Rock Sailing Club\, Puriri Bay

SUMMARY:Guided Stargazing Experience with Good Heavens
DESCRIPTION:Aotea Great Barrier Island is a Dark Sky Sanctuary. This means that our skies are exceptionally clear and dark. The island is widely considered as one of the best places in the Southern Hemisphere to view the night sky. It’s the perfect place to embark on a stargazing adventure! \nTo get the most out of your time under the stars consider a stargazing experience with small local business Good Heavens. They provide guided stargazing experiences – on top of a sand dune. Here\, the team provide moon chairs and blankets\, so that you can lean back in comfort and wonder… Is there a better place to appreciate our place in the universe? \nPicture yourself\, nestled under a blanket while you gaze up and are whisked away on a journey through our solar system and beyond. Good Heavens’ guides are your celestial companions\, treating you to captivating tales and mind-blowing facts about the night sky. They’ll share the enchanting stories our ancestors used to make sense of this wondrous world above. And they’ll even treat you to a hot chocolate\, to still increase your stellar bliss. \nThere are experiences 2-4 times a week\, so have a look at their website and see if they coincide with your island stay. If not\, send them an email and they may be able to book in an experience for you\, especially if you book long in advance or if you have a group of 4 or more. Also\, book in for your first night on the island\, so that you have a few nights up your sleeve in case the weather isn’t suitable for stargazing on your first night. Clear skies!

SUMMARY:Bird Aversion Training
DESCRIPTION:Free Bird Aversion Training for Dogs \nGreat Barrier is home to many ground-dwelling birds\, so each year the Department of Conservation host a Bird Aversion training to teach dogs to stay clear of any birds they may come across on their walks along the beach or in the bush. \nWe have a number of endangered seabirds who nest in the sand dunes\, holes in the bank and hollow tree trunks. These birds are not just sensitive to predation\, but if disturbed while nesting adults may abandon their nest completely. \nAll are welcome – full time/ part time residents and visitors. \nDogs must be 8 months or older. \nBooking is essential – Please text Cara Fraider on 02102612322 \nDOC Office 6th March\, 9am-10am\nOkupu Beach 6th March\, 11am-12pm
