Hello from Hilary. I've been here for a month already!! Here are some highlights ..connecting with people, the environment and the kaupapa of the centre.![]()

This is why fencing, of various types, is one of our goals for the manawahe eco corridor...Here's a revealing photo. The fence is a deer proof fence, and you can see the difference in the forest under-story on either side. Possums kill forests from the top while deer, goats and pigs kill forests from the bottom - including the seedlings that will be future native forest carbon sinks. When we control deer, pigs, and goats, we're protecting our forests, and our climate.
Just before lockdown last week we visited our feeding sites that are being monitored by motion sensor cameras with great results! Almost all the sites are being visited by wallabies who are enjoying all the kai we have put out for them 🙂 Once lockdown is over we will head back to the sites to see how things are going...
