ARE YOU A PITTWATER EXPERT OR ARTIST?

OR DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING UNIQUE TO SHARE

ABOUT PITTWATER?

We are looking for enthusiastic, knowledgeable Pittwater residents to share their passions at our Pittwater Discovery Tour lunchtime presentation.

Paddlecraft, located at the Bayview Marina, is working with the National Parks to develop tours that help promote conservation and awareness of Pittwater through nature based activities like kayaking and bush walking. We are aiming to offer a full day tour this season with some options for a lunch time stop that would incorporate a talk or demonstration from a Pittwater local perhaps highlighting conservation issues or programs, or local flora and wildlife or even artwork or local history. Paddlecraft would provide the catering but we are searching for a place to conduct this activity and people that would be interested in presenting. So if you are interested in doing a presentation or if you have a boat house or picnic area that could be used please contact Helen at info@paddlecraft.com.au or directly at Paddlecraft at 9997 8015.
