Happy Mother’s Day 💚 To celebrate our mothers

Happy Mother’s Day 💚 To celebrate our mothers this Mother’s Day, here is a photo of a chicken and hen fern we captured yesterday at our workday in the forest. These unique ferns have a captivating reproductive strategy, where they produce two distinct types of fronds: the larger, sturdier fronds are dubbed ‘hen’ fronds, while the smaller, more delicate ones are affectionately called ‘chicken’ fronds. 🌱The smaller fronds cluster on the tips of the larger ones, reminiscent of a nurturing mother hen raising her chicks. 🐣 Share this with your mother to let her know you are thinking of her today, or take a moment to cherish their memory if you can’t celebrate with her today. 🌿

Big thanks to our volunteers who turned up to our first workday of the year. It was also an important occasion with Manawahe Eco Trust heading over the hill to help us out for the day and also start with some plans on how we can link our two important relict #kokako populations! Exciting stuff!

Great to see a pair of #kokako plus a juvenile that is still hanging around with its parents in what is soon to be our newest management area. 🎉 Thanks to @westernbaycouncil for the funding allowing us to expand into this area
