About Hector Day
Hector Day is New Zealand’s annual national geosciences day held close to the birthday of pioneering New Zealand geoscientist, James Hector. The day aims to encourage social interaction between people involved in Earth sciences through informal gatherings at Branch level.
The Geo-Bake has been initiated by your National Committee and is a national event now firmly fixed in the GSNZ calendar. Branches or other community groupings are encouraged to meet informally to celebrate Hector Day and consume the baking.
