Tiritiri Matangi Island- Wilson

Look Pimple Face... haha...




Located 30km north east of central Auckland and just 4km from the end of Whangaparaoa Peninsula, Tiritiri Matangi Island is one of New Zealand's most important and exciting conservation projects. 120 years of farming saw this 220-hectare island stripped of 94% of its native bush but between 1984 and 1994, volunteers planted between 250,000 and 300,000 trees The island is now 60% forested. The remaining 40% will be left as grassland for species such as the Takahe.
