Hurunui, Hawdon and Eglinton Valleys

30/12/2011

The South Branch of Hurunui, Hawdon and Eglinton valleys all had substantial populations of mohua.  All three populations declined during the 1990s and all collapsed to very low levels during a rat and stoat plague over the 1999-2000 season.  After a comprehensive pest control programme, including aerial 1080 application in 2006 mohua are now abundant in areas that received treatment but have declined elsewhere.
