J. S. Watson Trust Awards
The threatened kaka and black petrel will be assisted with the aid of grant money given by the J.S Watson Trust, administered by the Society. As well, money goes to scientists studying red-billed gulls, and a pamphlet celebrating the late Lucy Moore is being financed by the Trust. Jacqueline Beggs, whose article on kaka breeding appears in this issue, has been awarded $1100 to continue her vital work. Paul Scofield, an Auckland University M.Sc student, has been given $1000 to study the distribution of black petrel on Great Barrier Island and to investigate methods of predator control for these burrowing birds. The Mid-North branch of Forest & Bird has been granted $500 to produce a pamphlet entitled ‘‘Scenic Reserves of Warkworth", as a memorial to one of New Zealand's best known botanists, Dr Lucy Moore. Finally, Dr Jim Mills of the Conservation Department received $1600 for a continuing study of the breeding dynamics of the redbilled gull.
