Sharing the Wonder of Puhi Peaks Station
The 8,000 acres Puhi Peaks Nature reserve incorporates over 2,000 acres of land that has been placed into protection via a QE2 covenant that sees this protected into perpetuity for the enjoyment of future generations. The native regeneration within these blocks over the past several years has been spectacular, as we seek to protect, preserve and enhance the stations' indigenous biodiversity. The geology and ecology of Puhi Peaks is unique and the extensive range of biodiversity is quite outstanding. Puhi Peaks nature reserve is internationally renowned for its rare and endangered flora and fauna and is also home to the endangered Hutton's Shearwater, the only seabird in the world to nest in the subalpine at 1800 metres above sea level. The Hutton's colony at Puhi Peaks is one of only two remaining wild colonies in the world. Puhi Peaks is also home to the rare Oleria Hectorii tree, with only six populations of this beautiful tree left in all of New Zealand.
We gladly welcome all to Puhi Peaks Nature Reserve, as it is our pleasure to share these and other wonders with local communities, students, researchers and international visitors, so we can share our love and passion for taking care of New Zealand's wilderness.
