Twizel Area, Canterbury Conservancy: DOC's organisational structure |
 | | Twizel Area Office manages over 220,000 hectares of public conservation land, most of which is in the Hopkins, Huxley, Ohau, Ahuriri and Godley areas. |
 | | PPR aims to restore braided rivers and wetlands, mostly via weed control, but also includes research on riverbed predators, ecological monitoring, advocacy, and the construction of new wetlands and encouraging native birds to nest in these wetlands. |
 | | Wilding trees are the most significant threat to the high country in the Twizel Area, in particular Pinus contorta, plus rowan is causing increasing concern. |
