New Signage For The Walkway

New signage has been erected at the start of the Walkway explaining to visitors that the Nowell’s Lakes are home to a number of native wetland birds including the “Nationally Critical” Matuku (Australasian bittern).  The Matuku are extremely sensitive to disturbance and if approached, they will either try to ‘steal away’ silently or freeze, standing with an erect neck and bill. The signage was sponsored by "Wild for Taranaki".
