Pukaha Mount Bruce is under the guardianship of a strong partnership between The National Wildlife Centre Trust, Rangitane o Wairarapa and the Department of Conservation.

We share a common vision to restore this place to its natural, tranquil beauty and restore the forest’s legendary dawn chorus.

These three groups are are drawn together in to their unique community partnership through the Pukaha Mount Bruce Board which was established in 2006.

The Department of Conservation is the significant partner who undertakes day-to-day management and forest restoration programme of Pukaha Mount Bruce on behalf of the Board. 2008-09 Annual Report [PDF 5.5MB]
