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

We’re taking part in our first crowdfunding campaign! Unfortunately the funding for this critical conservation work is harder to secure than ever before and we need your help!

The link to our givealittle page is in our bio. Every donation, no matter the size, makes a difference! Thank you for your generosity 💙 The campaign ends Friday 17 November.

We would be so grateful for your support if you could share our campaign video far and wide 💙

As you may have heard, we are participating in a fundraising campaign to raise the necessary funds to continue our critical work protecting the beautiful kōkako population we are lucky enough to have.

In the ten years we have been working in the forest, the kōkako population has skyrocketed, and in just the last four years it has increased by 89%, making us the second largest mainland population! Unfortunately the funding for conservation work is harder to secure than ever before, and this puts this special population of kōkako at risk. So we are trying something different! We would really appreciate any support you can give us between now and Friday (when the campaign ends).

Head to the link in our bio to donate! 💙

Also, heads up, keep an eye out for an exciting announcement about a gift making its way to one lucky donor… 👀
