The trees are planted, and the kiwi recorder by far hills has picked up duet between a male and female kiwi.

Over on the other side of the bush near Kauri Cabin, a different pair of kiwis have been spotted out and about, strutting their stuff.

And if things couldn't get any better, we've just received another two years of funding from the Waikato Regional Council to help maintain and strengthen the operation.

We're absolutely stoked with how things are tracking. Kiwis are being sighted more regularly, and it's great to see all the hard work paying off. Thanks to everyone who's helped make it happen.

Kia Ora!
