The community will be able to take night tours of the Rotokare Scenic Reserve sanctuary
for both scheduled and private tours.
Sanctuary Manager Simon Collins says the reserve has been holding night tours for a few years during winter.
"There has been a large amount of interest given by the community. This is a great opportunity for people to understand the night time wildlife."
Each tour session runs for two hours with a brief description of the sanctuary and wildlife given before the tour.
