Adopt a Hectare
You can directly help the Restoring Rotopounamu Project by ‘Adopting a Hectare’. It takes roughly $100.00 per annum to maintain 1 hectare of native bush at Lake Rotopounamu. By adopting a hectare you have the opportunity to bring back the birdsong to this remarkable and accessible example of New Zealand biodiversity.
