If you’re interested in learning more about the geography, history, and ecology of Livingston Island and its adjoining estuary, wetlands, and bush, I recommend checking out Nelson Coastcare’s webpage at www.nelsoncoastcare.org. They’ve done a fantastic job of producing a Livingston Island Nature Walk Audio Guide, and you can access all 7 tracks directly from their website.
