A Thriving Wildlife Habitat
Pest Free Onetahua aims to remove all the pests from Onetahua Farewell Spit and prevent their return; paving the way for native wildlife to thrive in this wāhi tapu - a sacred place, rich in Māori traditions.
Project area
Comprising almost 12,000ha at the top of the South Island, the project stretches from the tip of Onetahua Farewell Spit to the Whanganui Inlet, including Wharariki Ecosanctuary, Kaihoka Scenic Reserve and Pākawau Forest/Kauhrangi National Park some private land bordering these areas.
