Are you up for an adventure this school holidays?

Your help is needed to track down eight of the ‘Most Wanted’ invasive critters and diseases ‘hiding’ around the Bay of Plenty!

Kicking off this April, gather your mates and whānau to join the annual biosecurity hunt – a simple interactive virtual hunt aimed at raising awareness about exotic threats that we want to keep out of our region – all while entertaining kids over the holidays.

The hunt takes place at the Mount, and it’s super easy to play using your smartphone and the free Actionbound geocaching app.

All you need to do is follow the clues and hunt down those pesky invaders virtually ‘hiding’ in the area.

The route is about 1.5-2km long and you can explore on foot any time between April 5 and May 5.

No phone?

No problem!

Visit the website to print the hunt worksheet.

Then, hit the pavement at Pilot Bay and follow the stickers to uncover the clues and join in the fun.

Plus, every completed hunt is entered into the prize pool for epic local adventures like Canopy Tours, Dolphin Wildlife Cruises and an exploration of Middle Earth.

Don’t forget to snap some pics along the way – there are prizes up for grabs for the best adventure photo.

The hunt has been put together by the Tauranga Moana Biosecurity Capital initiative raising biosecurity awareness throughout the region.
