Along with tropical forests and coral reefs, wetlands are known to be the most precious and productive environments in the world. Yet today all but 1% of Hamilton’s native wetlands have vanished, taking with them rare plants and wildlife.
Volunteers are joining forces to reverse that trend at a 60 hectare site in the heart of Hamilton. When it is finished Waiwhakareke will be a rich resource for everyone to enjoy - drawing an estimated 85,000 visitors per annum by 2027 and supporting recreation, education, conservation and science. Already Waiwhakareke Natural Heritage Park has drawn international recognition. It is one of Australasia's Highly Commended ecological restoration projects, as judged by the Global Restoration Network.
