Motupohue - help us with a vision for the future

Bluff Hill Motupohue Environment Trust is very proud of what we have achieved in the last 10 years. Thanks to the support of the local community, dedicated volunteers, our partners DoC and Iwi and our many sponsors we have achieved:

· Bringing back the bird song to Motupohue and our backyards! 

· Helping create one of the most talked about Reserves in Southland 

· Translocating new native species – the Kakaruai South Island Robin 

· Restoring native habitats

We want to know what you would like to see happening on th…e Bluff peninsula concerning the environment in the next 100 years?
