What:
Every other month, the Rotorua Trails Trust is throwing open the doors for an evening of good chats, fresh ideas, and a whole lot of trail talk! Inspired by the “Green Drinks” concept, these gatherings are for anyone who loves our trails and wants to know what’s happening behind the scenes.
​
Expect a laid-back vibe with a mix of folks from all over Rotorua – trail lovers, volunteers, local organisations, and anyone curious about how we keep these paths so legendary. It’s a great spot to catch up with familiar faces, make new connections, share ideas, and get a peek into the Rotorua Trails Trust’s inner workings.
​
We’ll kick off our first night by sharing the origin story of the Trails Trust – how it all started, who’s behind it, the partnerships and collaborations that make it possible, and what we juggle behind the scenes. You’ll get the scoop on our funding, the non-negotiables we navigate, and the balancing act of meeting the high expectations of our passionate community (everyone has an idea, right?).
​
Whether you’re looking to volunteer, collaborate, or just curious to learn more, come along, bring a friend, and let’s grow this network of trail supporters together!
