Proposed Conservation Park - Torlesse Range
It is intended to create a conservation park to protect 22,000 hectares of high country on Canterbury's Torlesse Range. The Royal Forest and Bird Protection Society first proposed a conservation park on the Torlesse Range in 1991. Since then, pastoral lease and privately owned land has been acquired by the Crown either under the tenure review process, or purchased through the Nature Heritage Fund. These additions connected up existing conservation areas, making the idea of a conservation park more of a reality.
