Would you like to participate in some citizen science?

Drop by Huia Lodge Discovery Hub from the 2nd to 19th of April to collect a Cornwall Park bird survey, and count our bird life for one hour.

Return your survey by Sunday 26 April 2026 to Huia Lodge and enter the draw to win a birds prize pack.

This activity is suitable for all ages, though younger children may need assistance from an adult.

Together we can build a record of the birdlife in the park and use this information as an indicator to see how the whole ecosystem is doing.

Survey and a 'how to' guide provided.

Collect your survey from Huia Lodge Discovery Hub (next to the Cornwall Park Bistro) or download it from our website and print it at home.
Huia Lodge is open Thursday to Tuesday 10am-4pm and Wednesdays 12-4pm. 
Survey will be available to download on Thursday 2nd April

This event is part of EcoFest this year! Auckland’s largest environmental festival, EcoFest is a month-long celebration of our stunning environment and sustainability mahi across Tāmaki Makaurau! To learn more about EcoFest and all the other amazing events on offer go to: www.ecofest.org.nz
