In the very early dawn light, a small convoy of vehicles headed into the Reserve. They were on a mission to attempt the first drone flight, not for photos but to help control the moth plant.
We had a good run in 2024 with core support from Foundation North, the Department of Conservation and the Lottery Grants board. We look forward to continuing building on our successes in 2025.
We have updated our practices around capturing feral cats.
BHCT provides volunteer training and appreciation events as well as community conservation events.
