Trust House would like to announce we have contributed another $150,000 to the stage two upgrade of the kiwi house and breeding centre at Pukaha Mount Bruce. This is in addition to the donation already made of $400,000 to the recent upgrade of the visitor centre. Stage 2 Development at Pukaha includes upgrading the Nocturnal Kiwi House so that visitors can observe even more of our national icon as well as a much improved enclosure for the tuatara. They are also looking at developing new exhibits that will include native frogs, weta, weevils, skinks and geckos. Trust House chairman, Brian Bourke, said the contribution recognised the importance of Pukaha Mount Bruce as a national centre for wildlife and as a major visitor attraction for the region. "It represents our commitment both to increasing the benefits that tourism brings to the Wairarapa and to enhancing the quality of life in the region."www.mtbruce.org.nz
