Monitoring Projects
We have trips throughout the year to monitor different aspects of our ecosystem, and to gain information about the health, growth and behaviours of our wildlife. This includes kiwi call counts, reptile surveys, camera grid maintenance, bird call counts and ongoing monitoring of our wētāpunga, dotterel, little blue penguin and shearwater populations.
