The South Marlborough Landscape Restoration Trust’s aim is to restore and protect the iconic scenic tussock grassland and alpine landscapes of South Marlborough and increase the area’s biodiversity.
Our efforts cover an area of 870,000 hectares, all the way from south of the Wairau River and the foothills of Blenheim to the Clarence/Waiau-toa and Molesworth/Rangitahi Station in the south. Our goal is to reduce wilding pines in South Marlborough.
With your help, we can increase native biodiversity and have positive impacts on our ecosystems, cultural and historic values, recreation and reduce fire risk in South Marlborough, through:
Reducing the extent of wilding pines
Containing or controlling existing wilding pines sites establishing
Preventing further new wilding pines sites
Engaging landowners, land managers, statutory agencies and non-governmental organisations to all be actively committed and involved in protecting the region from wilding pines
DID YOU KNOW:
South Marlborough is one of the highest sites of endemism in the country (amongst the top 5) - which means there are literally hundreds of plants and some animals that are found nowhere else in the country.
