We have ongoing projects to plant thousands of natives across the Reserve, with the support of locals and our people, this includes a program to remove wilding pines. During conservation week 2023, our team will plant more than 1,000 natives in the Reserve. We would like to thank the Nelson Regional Development Agency for its support. This is a long-term plan that we hope could return the 250 hectares of Reserve to natives by 2033, subject to available funding, ask the team at the Reserve how you could help.

In addition to our planting efforts, we are also implementing educational workshops and community events to raise awareness about the importance of native ecosystems. These activities aim to engage local schools, businesses, and families, fostering a sense of stewardship for the Kaiteriteri Reserve. By involving the community, we hope to create a lasting impact and inspire future generations to continue the conservation work. Together, we can ensure the Reserve remains a thriving habitat for native flora and fauna.
