Sergeant in action!! Kokako Recovery Work
Club Sergeant Noel Carey and his wife Jenny have been undertaking predator control, mainly rats, in the Northern Pureora for nearly 20 years. The work is to ensure the recovery and growth in numbers of the endangered Kokako. The work by volunteers has been so successful that DoC have completed the translocation of a number of Kokako to Maungatautari, Waitakere Ranges, Eastern Taranaki and other parts of the North Island. The bush is pristine native forest with an abundance of native birds. The Kokako is a secretive bird, a poor flyer but very strong at hopping about in the upper canopy of the trees. Its song is one of the most melodic and eerie of all our native birds. Mainly heard and seen at daybreak.

RYLA: How it works
What is RYLA?
RYLA is a Rotary organised programme promoting youth leadership and catering to young aspiring leaders aged between 20-28. Since its inception in 1960, thousands of young people around the world have benefited from attending the RYLA training course. Many have gone on to be outstanding leaders of their families, their businesses and the communities in which they live.
Delegates are sponsored either by a local Rotary Club, a local business, the business for whom they work or by private arrangements. We encourage businesses to promote their young leaders with a RYLA experience as the benefits are numerous and embrace all areas of the young person’s lives.
The varied week at RYLA has proved extraordinarily successful for many years. It provides an environment in which young people can develop their leadership, team work and communication skills. Many RYLA graduates have referred to the experience as “the week that changed my life”. Often the friendships made during the RYLA week develop into life time networks, benefiting the delegates in all areas of their lives.
Administered by Rotarians and facilitated by professional trainers, it targets young people aged 20-28 who may still be at university or already working. They do not need to be in a leadership role at this time.
