GREBE PROJECT
LAKE WĀNAKA, NZ
Lake Wānaka’s unique Grebe Project is a community-led conservation initiative to increase the population of native southern crested grebe / pūteketeke, by providing safe nesting areas.
You can help! Please donate now. This will directly fund the building and management of floating nest platforms and support our education programme.
