Description

The Pomona Island Charitable Trust is a community-led conservation project. We are restoring Pomona Island to a pest-free state and maintaining it as an island refuge for the enjoyment of future generations. It is the long term aim of the Trust to provide an accessible location for people to see, hear and learn about birds native to Fiordland.
