Hinewai Reserve, Nature reserve in Banks Peninsula, New Zealand
The Hinewai Reserve covers 1250 hectares of land on the southeastern corner of Banks Peninsula, featuring valleys, ridges, streams, and waterfalls.
The Maurice White Native Forest Trust established the reserve in 1987 with 109 hectares, later expanding through the acquisition of Otanerito Station in 1991.
New Zealand botanist Hugh Wilson leads the ecological restoration project, transforming former farmland into native forest through natural regeneration methods.
Visitors can access 20 kilometers of marked walking tracks through the reserve, with maps available at entry points and the Visitors Centre.
The reserve manages its ecosystem by allowing natural forest regeneration without planting, creating a model for large-scale ecological restoration in New Zealand.
