20 geckos released in their new homes
It was a beautiful calm day, perfect for a boat trip to Maud Island from where we picked up the 20 Gecko's.
Common Geckos
Exciting day planned Monday the 5th of March. Common Geckos will be transferred from Maud Island to the enclosures of Tui Nature Reserve.

Track to the proposed building site of the diverting fence finished
This week the new track to the proposed building site of the diverting fence has been finished. It has taken a couple of months but the results are well worth it.
Donations & Trust Programme
In the last month we had a number of very generous donations towards our diverting fence. Because of that we only have $5153.31 to go of our $10.000 share, almost half way! We are very grateful to the donators.
Follow up after the Open Day (17 September 2011)
Statement of Mr Roy Grose, Department of Conservation Sounds area manager :
Mr Grose said Saturday was the first time in 10 years he had visited the reserve and the changes in the bush were amazing.
Tui Nature Reserve Wildlife Trust Open Day
Tui Nature Reserve Wildlife Trust made its first introduction to the public by organising an Open Day. This Open Day was held on the 17 September 2011 with the focus on promoting one of our mission statements; youth development.
Present on the day were selected students and teachers from 5 schools and colleges from the Marlborough and Nelson region, along with several home scholars and the representatives of Ngati Kuia, Department of Conservation, QE National Trust, National MP and supporting companies.
Clearing the track to the proposed fence site
Great progress has been made with the access track that will lead to the proposed fence site.
Spring update
Finally the work on the road is finished with the help of our two volunteers Juliane from Germany and Tsjasa from Slovenia. Hard work but the result is definitely worth it.
