We support conservation and restoration activities in the Holdsworth area of the Tararua Forest Park. Our aim is to enable the safe reintroduction of native birds including the Toutouwai North Island Robin to the area.

The Trust was formed in December 2018. We have applied to the DOC Community Fund for assistance, and with other donations hope to raise enough money to be able to install 150-200 traps a year for the next few years, as well as having income to renew the lure and gas in each trap every 6 months. So hopefully in 4-5 years we will have pest numbers sufficiently low to look at organising a transfer of North Island Robin.

New Zealand Mountain Film Festival

We are bringing the New Zealand Mountain Festival to Wairarapa this August. More information can be found here.

If you’d like to help out the Holdsworth Restoration Trust financially, you could make a one-off or regular donation, adopt a trap or leave a bequest.
