Valleys Project: Adopting Fiordland valleys for predator trapping

From Sunday Morning, 8:31 am on 23 September 2018

After many years of hard work behind the scenes with DOC, Auckland ophthalmologist Dr Michael Fisk set up The Valleys project, allowing people to adopt valleys in Fiordland, home to unique and endangered wildlife like takahē, whio and kea.

Inspired by Michael's mission, South Auckland teacher Martin Wright and a group of tramping mates have now "adopted" a valley themselves, and this summer will work on eradicating pests in the Upper Iris Burn.
