OU AAPES (Animals, Aquatic, Plants, Ecological Society) is a society for anyone with an interest in the life sciences. We are keen on connecting students from a range of different backgrounds and year levels. Throughout the year we are aiming to get members into the outdoors to see the nature and wildlife we have in the local areas around Dunedin. As well as many social events we are always aiming to learn something more about the local environment. We will be connecting regularly with staff members from relevant university departments and getting involved with many events such as volunteering at working bees, beach clean-ups, etc. There will be a huge range of different types of events for you to pick and choose from.
