Central Energy Trust Wildbase Recovery — Local services in Palmerston North

Such an amazing place. They have an animal hospital here. They take in injured animals and nurse them back to health and then release them back into the wild. They also have a walkthrough aviary that houses tuatara and a variety of native birds and two breeding aviaries for the endangered whio (blue duck) and pāteke (brown teal). They also have a treatment room for wildlife care, and the interactive Powerco Education Centre which is fantastic for learning for both kids and adults alike. Its all absolutely free as well. Amazing place! Would definitely recommend...

Great to see the work the trust is doing to protect native wildlife in NZ. We saw a Kakareki (green parrot), 2 Kaka, Wood Pigeon, Koromeko, and a Tuatara. We were inside the enclosure so there was no netting between 'us and them'. Lovely to see the 3 week old native ducklings, that will add to the less than 2500 that exist in the wild. Well done to all...
