Rotoiti Nature Recovery Project

These Mainland Islands aim to protect and restore habitats on the mainland of New Zealand through the use of natural boundaries and intensive management of introduced pests.

Situated within Nelson Lakes National Park, the RNRP covers 5000 hectares of alpine beech forest which stretches from the shores of Lake Rotoiti at 630m above sea level to 1700m peaks of alpine herb fields, tussock and grassland.
