Conservation
& Ecology
Manaaki Mai encompasses volcanic bluffs, native forest, and silver tussocks, all of which have inherent natural value from providing habitat for organisms to encouraging further regeneration of native plants in the area.
The regenerating areas of the property are highly representative of low-land dry forests that historically covered the Banks Peninsula.
