10 year Anniversary for Hollyford Conservation Trust

The Hollyford Conservation Trust is celebrating ten years of achievement in the more remote of community project areas. The tenth year has seen the traps increased to 1459 ‘stoat tunnels’ (doubleset DOC200s) with a 127km of new tracks bringing the total to 367km for the dedicated volunteers to check between 8 & 10 times a year. This year they have expanded into the Kaipo Valley with a focus on maintaining the whio population here. Take a look at the website, https://www.hollyfordconservationtrust.org.nz/, or request a copy of their impressive Annual Report for more details.
