– The much-anticipated dates for the 2024 Taranaki Sustainable Backyards Trail are now set! Mark your calendars for 1 - 10 November 2024 to experience the inspiring and innovative sustainable practices showcased across Taranaki’s beautiful region. This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Taranaki Sustainable Backyards Trail, a milestone that calls for celebration! Over the past decade, the Trail has grown in scope and impact, inspiring countless individuals and families to adopt sustainable practices and fostering a strong sense of community. Sustainable Backyards Trails invites everyone to join in the celebrations, commemorating this significant achievement.
This year, organisers are thrilled to announce the expansion of the event to become Taranaki Sustainable Trails: Backyards, Builds and Farms. Between 11 - 17 November 2024, visitors will have the opportunity to explore incredible initiatives focusing on local farms, producers, and sustainable building projects throughout Taranaki. This expansion reflects a commitment to showcasing a broader range of sustainable practices and supporting the diverse efforts of the Taranaki community.
A special feature of this year's Trail is our collaboration with Permaculture in New Zealand (PiNZ). On the final weekend of the Backyards Trail, 9 - 10 November 2024, the Trail will converge with PiNZ’s national hui at the inspiring Green School New Zealand campus near Ōakura.
