If you were listening to the show last Friday you'll know our critter of the week was the Banks Peninsula tree wētā.
This fascinating creature has been able to thrive largely due to the work of the Banks Peninsula Conservation Trust.
Part of their efforts to protect the species has been to build wētā motels, which give them a home and encourage natural native regeneration.
We wanted to hear more about the motels, so today I'm joined by Banks Peninsula Conservation Trust wildside coordinator Alice Webster.
