Motuora Island — a future open sanctuary
MID-NORTH BRANCH has formed an action group to press for an open sanctuary on Motuora Island, offshore from Orewa in the Hauraki Gulf. Although modified by Maori occupation and dairy farming, the island is free of predators. It is home to many seabirds and a potential home for threatened species. Already the hard work has begun of revegetating the island. Forest
and Bird members and others are planting trees, collecting seeds, releasing trees and repairing fences. The Motuora Action Group aims to have a young forest established around the island perimeter by the year 2000. For offers of assistance or further information, please contact Mike Harris of the Mid-North branch (0846) 25532.
