Saving the orchids
- Ōtari-Wilton’s Bush Trust
- Nationally significant research to save rare native orchids is being undertaken in a tiny science lab at Ōtari-Wilton’s Bush in Wellington. Finding Ōtari conservation and science advisor Dr Karin van der Walt and research technician Jennifer Alderton-Moss is a bit of a mission. The pair work from a small cottage behind Ōtari’s plant nursery, hidden from visitors who wander the trails exploring New Zealand’s single largest collection of native plants.

Voices of the Kaiwharawhara
- Ōtari-Wilton’s Bush Trust
- In 2022, the Voices of the Kaiwharawhara communications project was completed by Science Masters student Janel Hull, as part of her Science in Society Student Research for Science Communication at Victoria University of Wellington. Janel aimed to tell inspirational stories about Wellingtonians working towards restoring the Kaiwharawhara Stream. These stories highlighted volunteers, Māori, citizen scientists, scientists, youth, and business leaders, and included some of our Trust members.
