Project Island Song’s 12ks of Christmas - Moana Stuart

From 1st to 12th December, I will be completing the 12ks of Christmas challenge for Project Island Song!

--

I’ll be taking on the Next Level 12ks of Christmas, where I’ll be running or walking 12km every day for 12 days straight. This adds up to an epic 144km in total, which has a nice resonance as there are 144 islands in the Bay of Islands, seven of which are pest-free thanks to Project Island Song!

Project Island Song is a pest-free wildlife sanctuary covering seven islands in the eastern Bay of Islands. The community conservation partnership works to restore and protect the natural eco-systems and heritage of the Bay of Islands so that it is here for everyone, forever.

Since 2009, the project has eliminated pests from the islands, reintroduced 8 vulnerable native species, planted over 43,000 native trees, and engaged thousands of tamariki with our unique natural environment.

By sponsoring me to take part in the 12ks of Christmas, you’re helping to continue the restoration of these islands through supporting vital work including pest surveillance and control, volunteer weedbusting trips, reintroducing species, and more.
