Conservation At Kaweka Ranch
On our ranch we are proud to have a special QEII designated area for the protection of our most iconic and endangered native bird, the Kiwi.
Kaweka Ranch has protected its native trees and bush
Preserving our hunting habitat and environment for future generations is an issue we are dedicated to at Kaweka Ranch and for this reason we have started a tree planting program. We invite all our guests to participate in this program, to pick a tree off our 'green menu' and plant it during your visit to New Zealand.
Our native trees in New Zealand are magnificent! Some trees such as the Kowhai with its bright yellow flowers and nectar attract native birds such as the Tui.
Other species include the wood pigeon, fantail and ruru. Just 2 miles up the road we have a spectacular forest that hides secrets of more than 1,000 years - guests can enjoy the enchantment of this forest with a bushwalk and imagine just how New Zealand used to be before it was first colonized!
Our neighboring ranch was awarded 'Tree Farmer of the year' and when you look at the panoramic views from our limestone cliffs it's easy to see why!
In addition to our environmental conscience and efforts, native forests look superb so with a bit of extra effort we are confident we can gradually increase the numbers of native bird species on our ranch for our guests enjoyment.
