- Arthur's Pass Kiwi Recovery Project
The Arthur's Pass Kiwi Recovery Project was established in late 2002 in response to the "doomed" outcome probable for NZ's only urban population of Great Spotted Kiwi (GSK) or Roroa (Apteryx haastii). The Arthur's Pass community currently traps or controls the various animals (Stoats, Weasels, Rats, Feral Cats and Possums) that predate the Kiwi eggs or juveniles.
- Nina Valley Restoration Group
The "Restoration Group" consists of around 20 students, ranging from 12-15 years old. It was set up at the beginning of the year by Hurunui College.
- Fire Weather Index Calculator
This website utilises data created by a Windows based application called FWI Calc (also written by SoftRock). This allows private independent Weather Stations to calculate various wild fire indices used to predict fire behaviour related to changes in weather & climate. The website allows sharing & graphical display of this data.
