Please join us for a combined club night hosted by Waimea Tramping Club.   This will be held at Whakatu Presbyterian Church, 34 Ch ampion Road, Richmond at 7:30pm.  Please note this is a different day of the week and venue to our usual NTC club nights. 

The speaker will be Peter Laurenson, speaking about his new book Aotearoa Light: Moments of wonder and realisation in New Zealand wildernes s which will be released in August this year. 

AOTE AROA LIGHT takes readers on a journey through the wondrous and varied landscapes of Aotearoa/New Zealand’s wilderness, through photographs that c atch the light, and experiences and reflections that explore our role withi n Earth’s connected ecosystem.

More New Zealanders than ever are recr eating in our natural environment, and with that a growing number are doing wonderful things through their involvement in conservation-related activit ies. Despite this, apathy, indifference and arrogance are still shown by so me, even right to the highest ranks in government, to our natural environme nt – to the ecosystem we (and our economy) are a part of and so dependent u pon.

Concerned about the challenges our warming planet brings, Peter presents images of Aotearoa New Zealand that convey the benefits of wildern ess; reminders of what we must protect and nourish, if humanity is to thriv e.
