Te Kohanga (the nesting ground)

Te Kohanga is the 97 hectare, recreation and conservation area of Pegasus.  Work is underway to create a range of natural habitats so that it will once again support the variety and numbers of native plants and animals that once lived there.  Formed pathways and boardwalks allow easy walking and cycling along this area.
