Native bird sanctuaries Rotokare Scenic Reserve Trust and East Taranaki Environment Trust have also benefited, with $62,000 and $15,000 respectively. Rotokare Scenic Reserve Trust chairman Mike Weren said the TET had awarded grants to the trust on a regular basis for the past 10 years to fund educational programmes attended by the majority of schools in the region. The 230ha reserve, east of Eltham, is a predator-protected rare native bird sanctuary and wetland area. Native birds, such as kiwi and toutouwai, are also translocated to Te Papakura ō Taranaki/Egmont National Park from the sanctuary. The East Taranaki Environment Trust, east of Inglewood, managed the Experience Purangi predator protected kiwi and kokāko sanctuary now numbering more than 4000 birds.
