Fools and Dreamers: Regenerating a Native Forest
This 30-minute documentary about Hinewai Reserve, on New Zealands Banks
Peninsula, is an incredible story of how degraded, gorse-infested farmland, has
been regenerated into beautiful native forest over the course of 30 years. Once
considered a plan expected only of fools and dreamers, manager, botanist Hugh
Wilson, is now considered a hero locally and across the country for bringing
back 1,500 hectares of native forest, with abundant wildlife and permanent flows
of water.
