Habitat corridor
Wildlife corridors
A purpose of the trust deed, reaching well beyond the Cape.
IntendedBeyond the lifetime of the current plan
Where we are now
No route agreed, no partners named to it and no work begun. What exists is pockets — this headland, the plantings other groups have made around the town, and the gardens in between.
What it becomes
The Cape as one link in a chain of habitat running south from Ōamaru: a corridor connecting Ōamaru with Orokonui.
Why it is in the plan
A restored headland with nothing to connect to is an island, and islands lose species.
What needs to happen
