Hinewai Reserve, nestled in Banks Peninsula, NZ, spans 1,250 hectares of vital wilderness. Hinewai is an ecological restoration project owned and managed by the Maurice White Native forest Trust and is freely open to the public.
At Hinewai, you can find ancient podocarps like Kahikatea and totara, together with vibrant ferns and centuries old beech forests. It's not just a haven for plants—birds also thrive there and native species like the tui, kererū, and fantail have an increasing presence.
Beyond its scenic beauty, Hinewai plays a crucial role in conservation and community enrichment. Hinewai's manager Hugh Wilson is dedicated to allowing New Zealand's natural world to thrive. Its ongoing ecological restoration and community involvement make it an invaluable asset to New Zealand's natural heritage.
We give $5 from each sold fantail and gecko shirt to Hinewai Reserve.
