3 Trails in 2025: Backyards, Builds & Farms!
This spring, the Taranaki Sustainable Trails returns for its 11th year—bigger, bolder, and more inspiring than ever.
From October 31 to November 16, the region will come alive with 42 open properties and over 50 events designed to spark curiosity, connection, and action. After the success of last year, you'll now find sustainable backyards, builds and farms as part of the lineup.
