Pest Free Onetahua aims to remove pests from Onetahua Farewell Spit and prevent their return. This aspirational project will pave the way for native wildlife to thrive in this wāhi tapu - a sacred place, rich in Māori traditions.
Project area
Comprising almost 12,000ha in the South Island’s northernmost peninsula, the project area stretches from Farewell Spit south to the Whanganui Inlet, taking in the Kaihoka Scenic Reserve and Pakawau Forest and some private land bordering these areas.
