Milford Sound has received just a third of its usual rainfall in the first two months of this year, Pāmu has a new plan to halt the spread of wilding pines, the number of Fiordland’s cycle trail users has almost doubled, a new charity has been set up to provide venison to needy families, and volunteer hut wardens on the Kepler Track will no longer be offered a helicopter ride to take up their post this winter.

Kirsty Pickett is the co owner of the Southland App based in Te Anau, covering Southland and Fiordland.
