CREATING A SAFE HAVEN FOR OUR NATIVE WILDLIFE

Glenfern Sanctuary offers a rare opportunity to experience native wildlife on Great Barrier Island. The Sanctuary covers an area of around 150 acres in the north of the island at Port FitzRoy and is the result of nearly 10 years hard work. Over 9,000 native trees have been planted and there is an extensive track network. A swing bridge enables visitors to climb into the crown of a 600 year old kauri tree. Ongoing rat and cat eradication provides a safe habitat for many native species including the black petrel and brown teal which are breeding here, also kaka and chevron skink and the recently introduced North Island robin.

The design of the logo conveys the image of the valley ecosystem that makes up Glenfern as a safe haven for endangered species.

Glenfern Sanctuary is an attempt to redress the balance over a small but significant ecosystem which may act as an incentive to others to do likewise.
