Tiri
Matangi Island
Tiritiri Matangi ('looking to the wind'or'wind
tossing about') lies 4km off the coast of Whangaparaoa
Peninsula.
Tiritiri Matangi is a scientific reserve and a
sanctuary for rare wildlife. Visitors are welcome but
are asked to treat the island with care and respect.
By 1900 centuries of
Maori occupation followed by European farming had
turned most of Tiritiri into rolling grassland, with
only a few pockets of forest remaining.
Now, Tiritiri is being
replanted with native trees, both to accelerate the
natural regeneration of the coastal forest, and to
provide a rich and varied habitat for bird species. |
