Monarto Restoration Project

Our aim is to restore and expand habitat at Monarto to represent what used to exist in the region, before clearing for agriculture and introduction of pest species to the area. With volunteer help, we aim to reduce impact of pests and reintroduce native species that are now locally extinct.

Field days for the Monarto Restoration Project have begun! You can get involved in on-ground conservation works and build skills and experience in conservation. There are a range of activities to suit individual skills and abilities, with many of these activities child friendly.

Work includes planting, seed harvesting, propagation, establishing and conducting bio-surveys, weed control, and maintenance and construction of facilities.
