For many years, hectares of land down on the Lower Shotover River was a dumping ground for cars, household furniture and rubbish, with over 60 of the 150 hectares of the Tucker Beach Wildlife Reserve completely degraded, overgrown with noxious weeds and considered an unsafe place.
In 2017 a small number of passionate local residents formed the ‘Friends of Tucker Beach Wildlife Reserve’ with a goal to restore the biodiversity of the area, protect the already endangered species nesting in the areas, and bring back and support native vegetation & wildlife corridors in order to attract native birds, insects and lizards back into the area.
Air New Zealand has today announced it will move to sell only activities and attractions awarded a Qualmark endorsement for their commitment to quality, safety and sustainability from 31 March 2022.
