TRAMPJoin shareholders of Te Whenua Ora (part of High Bare Peak) on the Catons Stream Loop Track near Little River.

This property is a former farm overlooking Lake Waiwera, which is now being managed to allow natural regeneration.


The walk shows how regenerating land responds after farm management is changed from heavy grazing to little or no grazing, with exciting regeneration evident after only three years.  We will pass through grassland and regenerating bush, partly on farm tracks and partly on narrow, rocky and uneven walking tracks. There are some reasonably steep ascents and descents so a good level of hill fitness is required. Shareholders in the property will talk about the regeneration project and happily answer questions.

Finish the day with a cold drink or coffee & food at the welcoming Little River Inn, where our cars will be parked. This is a stunning property well worth a visit.
