Conference 2003
Greening the City:
Bringing Biodiversity Back
into the Urban Environment
Hinewai
Many years ago Hugh Wilson
had a dream. A renowned South Island botanist and conservationist,
he dreamt of restoring a patch of Banks Peninsula to its original,
pristine condition.
Twenty-five years later
his vision has almost come to fruition. From a gorse-covered block,
with a small remnant of ancient bush, he and a group of enthusiastic
helpers have created the Hinewai Nature Reserve, a wonderful wilderness
which has become one of the treasures of Banks Peninsula, renowned
not only in the South Island but throughout New Zealand.
