Kaipūpū Point Mainland Island Society
Kaipūpū Point Mainland Island Society was incorporated in 2005 and work began to establish a mainland sanctuary with cooperation of Community, Te Atiawa and foundation partners Port Marlborough and the Department of Conservation.
The Society’s long term goal for the area has been to establish a sanctuary through the eradication of introduced plant and animal pests. Our pest proof fence acts as a line of defense and has helped Kaipūpū become predator free. In 2023 Picton Dawn Chorus Inc. and the Kaipūpū Point Mainland Island Society merged under the Picton Dawn Chorus name with a new mission in mind - To create a national ecological treasure |
