geography
The Hakatere Conservation Park consists of three large individual areas and 16 smaller adjacent areas, none of which are in direct contact with one another. The park's areas are located southeast of the New Zealand Alps , between the Havelock River and Rangitata Rivers to the west and southwest and the Rakaia River to the northeast to east. Considered all individual areas together, they are scattered over a length of around 75 km in an east-west direction and almost 50 km in a north-south direction.
The park, which consists of 19 individual areas, has a total area of over 68,000 hectares .
history
As early as 1987, some of the smaller areas of today's park were placed under nature protection and the Department of Conservation was responsible for the care. In November 2007, a private individual then acquired the farmland at Hakatere Station and had it designated as a Conservation Park . In July 2008, the Nature Heritage Fund subsequently acquired the farmland for NZ $ 7.2 million and handed over the responsibility for enforcing conservation in the area to the Department of Conservation , which was managed by the Hakatere Heritage Committee , a local group of conservationists is supported. Around 10,000 hectares of land around Clent Hills were also acquired by the Nature Heritage Fund and assigned to the park.
