Quarantine Island benefits from KCC
SITUATED IN the middle of Otago Harbour, 19-ha Quarantine Island has been getting attention recently from young conservationists in the Otago Kiwi Conservation Club. Since the club started they have had four weekend visits to the island working on a variety of activities including removing broom seedlings, track cutting and pricking out seedlings in the shadehouse.
The island is half farmland and half regenerating bush so the KCC plan to gradually revegetate further parts of the island with native plants. They have been assisting the resident caretaker who looks after the DoC-owned island. Another regular part of the weekends are beach cleanups. Because the island is at the head of the harbour it attracts a lot of floating pollution.
