Achievements of the Trust
The Story So Far
Since its foundation in 2005, the Trust has achieved a great deal. In the first year of operation the Trust undertook baseline research to assess the condition of the plant, invertebrate and bird life on Pomona and Rona Islands.
In 2006 and 2007 the main focus of the Trust shifted to removing all pests from the two islands. Guided by a professional pest management plan pest species were targeted in the following order: stoats, possums, deer, rats and mice.
Since 2008 the Trust has turned its attention to maintaining Pomona and Rona Islands as pest-free sanctuaries and introducing native birds to the islands.
Key Projects completed so far include:
