Mistletoe in bloom at the Sanctuary!
This is the perfect way to remind you that we’ll be closed on Christmas Day, but our normal hours are from Tuesday to Sunday, 9 AM to 5 PM now!
We're excited to share these extended days so everyone can enjoy swimming, hiking, bird ...watching, plant identification, and many other summer joys at the Sanctuary!
Happy holidays to all🥰

Let’s dive into the fake vs real tree debate? Which is the most sustainable is hard to say and really depends on how you take care of it. But if you still aren’t sure what to do, let us help you out! If you buy a real one from the Sanctuary, you are helping us take these invasive pine species ...out of our forest to ensure that our other native species thrive while giving back to further our conservation efforts🌿🦎🦜
These Pinus radiata trees with soft needles and attractive pine cones make the perfect holiday decor, so stop by our visitor centre to grab yours today. Koha appreciated ❤️🌲

We're so lucky to have hosted Donna and Happen Films in the Sanctuary! Watch their latest short film to learn more about Rongoā, the healing practice of Māori.
Much more than herbal medicine, although it is that too, rongoā is a way of seeing the world, of understanding the ...interconnectedness and interdependence of all things, and of understanding that wellness, for all of earth's species, comes from being whole – spiritually and physically.
Have you snagged your Tuatara long-sleeve tee from the Visitor Centre? They just arrived in a new colour today, so get in when we're open tomorrow before they sell out again soon!

From the 100K, where runners traverse along the Sanctuary fence line to Jenkins Hill, emerging from the dense forest to breathtaking vistas of the Barnicoat Range. To the 50K, where runners will descend into the Brook Valley. The Sanctuary’s increased birdsong, old-growth protected beech forest, ...and predator-free ecosystem will be on showcase for athletes to enjoy while battling it out this weekend at The Spectacle 🌿🌳🏃♀️
