Discover the exciting news and updates from the Motueka Catchment Collective
In this edition, you’ll find:
Exciting news for the Wakapuaka Mouri project — the nationally critical long-tailed bat (pekapeka-tou-roa) has been detected along the restored banks of the Wakapuaka River, just 15km from Nelson’s CBD.
A 200-hectare block of land at Pūponga Farm Park, previously used for farming, is set to become a biodiversity hotspot, thanks to a new restoration project led by HealthPost Nature Trust in partnership with DOC, Manawhenua ki Mohua, and Pest Free Onetahua.
My first job after I graduated with an ecology-based degree in 1965 was with the Wildlife Service, an ancestor of DOC. On my first day at work, I was summoned to meet the director, who congratulated me on being the first woman scientist to join the Service.
