The award winning Athenree Saltmarsh Wetlands project is providing a habitat for indigenous plants and animals and is regionally significant as it plays host to some of the largest populations of threatened wetland species within the Bay of Plenty, such as Fernbird and Australasian Bittern.  The Wetlands Walk is a 20 minute loop and is accessible from the Emmerton-Steele Rd entry point, 100m just past the Waiau River Bridge. Teeming with wildlife this walk is a lovely gentle adventure.
