Jobs For Nature - Greenstone and Caples Valleys
1 November 2021
$416,000 is being invested in additional stoat, possum and feral cat control in these two valleys on the north west side of Lake Wakatipu. This control work is estimated to employ six people across three years helping protect some of the country’s most vulnerable native species.
Just wanted to congratulate you on your predator control work. So many small birds compared to this time 6 years ago!

I recently visited the area around Glenorchy and walked the Routeburn to the second hut. I saw and heard some lovely birds. Keep up this crucial work.
