From gorse-infested pasture to lush native bush: documentary tells the story of Hinewai Reserve
A new documentary celebrates Hinewai Reserve's transformation from scrubby paddock to native bush under the stewardship of Canterbury botanist Hugh Wilson.
Since 1987, the Banks Peninsula property has naturally reverted from gorse-covered pasture to native forest, expanding to 1250 hectares as neighbouring properties became available.
Called Fools and Dreamers, the documentary was made by Happen Films, made up of filmmaking duo Jordan Osmond and Antoinette Wilson (who is not related to Hugh).
