Imagine a place …

where native plants and animals thrive, without threat from introduced pests

alive with birdsong, where rare species such as kiwi and tuatara roam freely

where visitors can see native flora and fauna close to home

where you can reconnect, energise, heal

where you can be involved and make a difference

Close to Nelson city but hidden away, immerse yourself in the natural beauty of New Zealand native bush, breathe deeply and engage.

We want to connect people with the natural world in a way that promotes environmental responsibility and contributes to the restoration of our local and national ecosystems.

We hope visitors will experience the mauri (life force), vital essence and spirituality of this natural environment.
