    Thank you to everyone who contributed to our conservation project here at Papatowai in The Catlins. Thanks to you we have reached our initial goal of paying for the land behind the beautiful rata trees that line the shore here. Hving paid this our bank balance is $80 so we would welcome any extra that we need to pay the first year's rates - after that we will not have to pay rates because the reserve will be covenanted with the Queen Elizabeth II Trust and our Council waives rates on such land.

    Thanks to your contributions and other donations we are almost there! We have only $4700 left to raise to cover our loan to buy the land. We have already installed our first predator traps and have made a track through the reserve so that anyone can explore it. We have some lovely artworks for sale that are inspired by the reserve, see these on the Papatowai Forest Heritage Trust facebook page.
