He wa whakarurunga mo nga tamariki o Tane - A safe place for the children of Tane
A string of native bush reserves lie along the northern edge of the Manukau Foreshore. There are areas of precious remnant native coastal forest which require protection. The forests act as a habitat corridor for wildlife.
Currently, an enthusiastic and dedicated group of 40+ local volunteers are carrying out intensive animal pest control within a 140 hectare area. Help them to create a sanctuary for wildlife. Join in!
This is a new blog site for the Waikowhai sanctuary project. The purpose of the site is to house rosters, results and general information about the project. It's also an opportunity for people involved in the project, to feedback.
Cheers

Rat catches continue to climb this year. We've topped the 300 mark and have also, with the help of a few within the trapping group and students from Lyfield College, filled many bait stations. This will knock the rats back even further over summer months. Natural plant regeneration is clearly visible, and birdlife stunning at times. Cheers David
