Ronga Reserve is an important lowland alluvial podocarp forest in the broader Te Hoiere/Pelorus catchment.  It is ranked highly as a restoration site, with towering totara and matai, surrounded on three sides by valley streams with oxbow wetlands and springs, and is home to endangered long-tailed bats. 

Forest & Bird have been working collaboratively with Marlborough Branch to restore the alluvial forest that has been affected by past tree-felling and grazing.  We are involved with replanting 1000 trees every year, weeding, and monitoring bat populations.  This is a long term project of very high value, and we are pleased to work closely with the Department of Conservation and adjoining landowners.

Nature needs your support

Supporting Forest & Bird is one of the best things you can do for New Zealand's environment. We need people like you to support us, so that nature will always have a voice.
