Flax Hills Forever Forest

 
Farm land with pockets of forest and a mountain backdrop

Grazing land returns to its former glory in the Kaikōura region, Canterbury

The Flax Hills Forever Forest is a 69-hectare area that has been retired from grazing and is being reverted to native forest.

  • Approximately 69 hectares of the property contains existing native forest areas.

  • This will supply the seed source to enable future reversion alongside the landowners' supplementary planting.

  • Preserving this native forest improves the water quality of nearby rivers and coastal waters.

This forest is part of a farming system, a sensitive land area now protected through retirement and native forest regeneration. The landowner is committed to increasing the native bush protected and enhanced by Forever Forests to approximately 100 hectares over the next couple of years.
