Rotokare Scenic Reserve Trust

Having a totally reliable internet connection in the midst of Taranaki’s only fenced ecosanctuary is wonderful. Working inside a sanctuary is like being in another world. Being able to collaborate and do business with the ‘outside world’, means that we can be effective and efficient, ultimately resulting in gains for ecological restoration in Taranaki.

This year especially having reliable access has meant savings for our organisation and not being left out of meetings and decision making that we cannot attend in person. Being able to stay in contact with our community and ‘Friends of the Lake’ has been helpful to the whole Rotokare whanau. Staying connected this year has been more important than ever, and being able to share the progress and ecological wins has added joy to our work.

Rotokare Scenic Reserve Trust is a registered charity. Our mission is the highest level of ecological restoration at Rotokare Scenic Reserve. Primo’s generous sponsorship of our connection means that we are able to focus more of our funding on direct ecological restoration gains. Significant restoration work this year has included monitoring populations of rare and endangered bird populations – hihi, tieke, pateke, kiwi, titipounamu; progressing willow eradication in the wetlands; maintaining a pest-free sanctuary; researching additional flora and fauna species reintroductions to the sanctuary.

Primo is a godsend to our organisation!

Thank you Primo!
