Hinewai Reserve

Hinewai Reserve

Hinewai Reserve is a private nature reserve on Banks Peninsula in New Zealand.

It started off as a 109 ha block bought by the Maurice White Native Forest Trust in September 1987 and is now comprised of 1230 ha of gorse and regenerating native bush. [cite news

The reserve was completely forested in pre-human times but was reduced to 4% when it was established as a reserve. The transformation from open pasture and gorse to native vegetation has occurred rapidly. [cite journal
