history
After the termination of the lease agreements for the Makarora , Ben Avon and Longslip farmland, the land was formed into the Hāwea Conservation Park in 2008, along with the already designated protected areas . The farmland at Birchwood Station , which was in the upper course of the small river Dingle Burn , was acquired by the Nature Heritage Fund and assigned to the park. The Hāwea Conservation Park was the ninth and at the time the largest conservation park that the New Zealand government had designated since the 2000s.
