Hinewai Reserve Trip

Explore the beautiful ngahere at Hinewai Reserve with other environmentally passionate rangatahi from Forest & Bird Youth.

Hinewai is an ambitious ecological restoration project, led by Hugh Wilson, where gorse was used as a nurse crop to restore native forest.

Hugh Wilson will give us a talk at the visitor centre before we start walking about the area and how he started the project.

Please meet at the UCSA car park (90 Ilam Road, Ilam, Christchurch 8041) by 8am

Please note that the trails are steep and can be technical, so sturdy outdoor shoes are a must.

Transport and lunch are provided - make sure you bring suitable warm clothing, wet weather gear, snacks, a backpack, and a drink bottle.

We will return to the UCSA around 6pm.

This is a must-do event if you love adventure, hanging out with a good bunch of adventure lovers, and learning more about restoring and protecting nature!

We will send you a confirmation email around a week before the event, confirming all the details.
