Staglands’ Commitment to the Environment
At Staglands, we give our visitors, adults and children alike, a fun, interactive experience with nature in beautiful natural surroundings. We hope to inspire in our visitors a love of wildlife and an understanding of the need to protect our natural environment.
This principle is reflected in all aspects of our operations, be it in the park, café, or in our office. We commit to practices that minimize impact on nature and relentlessly pursue initiatives to better care for wildlife and the environment.
Staglands Conservation Involvement
We plant a couple thousand of native plants and ferns every year
We participate in captive breeding programs of New Zealand native birds together with the Department of Conservation
We run breeding programs for New Zealand heritage breeds in partnership with other parks and individuals
We implement predator control programmes (e.g. DOC traps, live capture traps, and poison bait stations)
We participate in advocacy campaigns such as the Whio Awareness Month to educate our visitors more about their relevance to New Zealand and how we can help these nationally vulnerable species
Environmental initiatives in practice
