Today we witnessed conservation at its best,the New Zealand Robin released in June 09 is now flying freely through the Puketi Forest .Today was the first time Adventure Puketi has been able to show our clients what the Puketi Forest Trust and Volunteers,their success of six years of hard work.Sabine and Lynn from Switzerland love Nature and it was a pleasure to be able to show them the conservation effort being put into Puketi forest.

Wow what a night to remember. After recent rain our usual nightwalk took us an extra hour to complete. The forest was alive with nocturnal creatures. My clients had weta walking on their skin for the first time in their lives, our forest has nothing to be afraid of, night or day. Conservation in this area of the forest has really brought the forest back to its usual state.

Puketi Forest is continuing to benefit from six years of hard work and generous donations by volunteers and supporters of the Puketi Forest Trust. At the end of October, the first two North Island Robins to have hatched in Puketi in more than a hundred years left the nest.

Since then three more young Robins have been seen in different parts of the forest which shows that at least four pairs have bred successfully. Two other pairs, which are being monitored are sitting on eggs or feeding chicks in the nest.

That the Robins, which were reintroduced in June, have bred successfully, proves the effectiveness of the trusts control of Mammalian Predators.
