orest & Bird is stepping up vital conservation work at its Tautuku Ecological Restoration project in the Catlins after being awarded Jobs for Nature funding of more than $577,000 over three years. Forest & Bird’s Dunedin, South Otago, and Southland branches have been carrying out restoration work in our Lenz Reserve and surrounding publicly owned conservation land for a number of years. The restoration project currently has traps covering 3000ha, reaching from the beach at Tautuku Bay back into the catchments of the Fleming and Tautuku Rivers. It encompasses regenerating forest,
Tautuku bats will also benefit from the Jobs for Nature funding. Francesca Cunninghame

coastal dune forest, and wetlands. The Jobs for Nature funding will allow the project to expand, and people will be employed to do more predator control and monitoring work in this nature hotspot. “This new funding will allow us to increase conservation gains across the project area,” says Forest & Bird’s Otago projects manager, Francesca Cunninghame. The project team will be able to add an additional 1000ha of mustelid and rodent control, as well as targeted possum and feral cat control. “We will intensify rodent control over a 400ha area that is a hotspot for the critically endangered Tautuku forest gecko,” Francesca added. “The financial support also means the project will be able to significantly expand control of deer, pigs, and goats across the wider area.” Monitoring work will be expanded for species such as titipounamu riflemen, mātātā fernbirds, pekepeka long-tailed bats, and a small remnant colony of kororā little blue penguins on the coast. Australasian bitterns have also been sighted, and monitoring will show whether there is a resident population in the project area. “We’re very aware we need to know what we’re doing is making a difference for the species we are trying to protect,” Francesca said. The funding will mean the project’s trapping contractor Gavin White will be employed full time to improve the trap and track network and work on deer and pig control. Other conservation workers will also be employed for seasonal work doing track maintenance, deer and pig control, and bird and bat monitoring.
WARDENS NEEDED Last summer, seven volunteer wardens helped run Forest & Bird’s Tautuku Forest Cabins in the Lenz Reserve. The management committee is providing the same opportunity to volunteers this summer. Wardens stay for one or two months and look after the cabins, greet guests, and help with conservation work on the 540ha forest reserve. In their downtime, they can explore the surrounding Catlins and become part of the local community. Last summer’s volunteer wardens Jill and Martin Bonny, of Nelson, enjoyed their time at Tautuku surrounded by korimako, kererū, miromiro, and pipipi, exploring beaches, encountering sea lions, and hiking through the inland beech forest. The Lenz management committee invites applications for this summer’s warden positions – please email tautukucabins@ gmail.com.
