Chrystalls Beach

Field Trip on Saturday 23rd of August 2025, 09:00 AM (1 month from now)

Contact: Gretchen Brownstein

Join us for a mid-winter stroll along a golden sand beach. Though marram is a common feature of the fore dune, the interdune contains an interesting mix of native shrubs and trees along with a small patch of native cushion plants. There will also be a chance to check out the plants on Cooks Head (a 25m high basalt rock). Threatened plants and sea lions are likely to be spotted. This will be a relaxed botanical paced trip. Bring a wind proof coat, warm hat, lunch, and a hot drink. Meet at 9am in the Botany Dept, return time 3pm. Contact Gretchen 021 065 8497
