Gisborne residents are invited to a free sausage sizzle and information event on Sunday, to prepare for Conservation Week, which runs from Monday August 14 to Sunday August 20.

Conservation groups from across the region will set up a “tent city” and be on hand at Alfred Cox Park  between 10am and 2pm to help people learn about the region’s native birds and their threats, as well as how to trap invasive pests and learn about the threat of myrtle rust.

Further details about how the public can take part in Conservation Week activities will also be available on the day.
