Local
news
media
and
the
region’s
service
groups
combined
forces
to
back
a
district-wide
project
to
set
up
a
$100,000
endowment
fund
to
aid
the
future
restoration
of
the
nationally-important
Pukaha
Mount
Bruce.
Pukaha
Mount
Bruce
needs
to
raise
$100,000
a
year
to
fund
pest
eradication
to
keep
predators
away
from
the
reserve
which
is
surrounded
by
a
4km-wide
buffer
zone
created
by
landowners
in
co-operation
with
the
Greater
Wellington
and
Horizons
MW
regional
councils.
The
programme
has
been
so
successful
that
Pukaha
Mount
Bruce
has
been
able
to
reintroduce
kaka,
kokako
and
kiwi
into
the
wild. |
