Kaipātiki Project Speaker Series: Stories of Our Native Species
Have you seen DUNE? Those worms are colossal—but did you know Aotearoa has its own giants? They might not be tractor-eating, but they’re impressive enough to spark your imagination!
Deep in remnant forest gullies, giant worms carve burrows over 2 metres deep and can grow to more than 1.5 metres long. Some even say they glow orange in the dark!
Join Kaipātiki Project for a fascinating talk where you’ll:
- Discover the secret life of giant worms and their unique habitats
- See rare footage of a giant worm colony
- And if we’re lucky… meet a giant worm up close!
Unearth the mysteries of these incredible creatures and learn why they’re vital to our ecosystems.
