Our very own local legend Hugh, here talking about the use of w**ds to transform Hinewai into a thriving native ecosystem.

A Way with Weeds: Rewilding on Hinewai Reserve on tonight's episode of Rewilding in Action

Botanist Dr Hugh Wilson from Hinewai Reserve on Banks Peninsula is arguably Aotearoa’s father of Rewilding.

Hugh is best known for showing us that gorse can be an effective nursery plant for native forest to naturally regenerate through. But this episode isn’t about gorse – instead Maureen talks to Hugh about what he and his team are doing with all the other w**ds on Hinewai Reserve.
