For the last three years Greg Townsend has been checking a network of traps across his land and the neighbouring Hakarimata DoC reserve in the hopes that one day, bird song will be heard again in the forest.

From rugged campsite to 7.5ha resort
Grant Kilby has always loved camping. His mum was director of health at the YMCA, and he would attend YMCA camps in the school holidays. “I think it was mandatory that I was there,” he jokes.
He went on camping holidays with his parents, and later, took his own kids.
“Camping’s been in my blood.”
