Tui Nature Reserve Wildlife Trust
We raise conservation awareness by hosting volunteers from all over the world to experience life and work on a remote wildlife park in the Marlborough Sounds.
Tui Nature Reserve Wildlife Trust also run a programme for students (up to university level), to actively be involved in preserving and studying New Zealand's flora and our unique native wildlife.
Wildlife Protection New Zealand
The Plaisier's started this pilot programme in 1994, gaining extensive knowledge about the preservation of native New Zealand flora and fauna that is available to other private landowners to work from.
We also specialize in the handling and training of certified detection dogs and in the creation of management programmes for rodent and possum control.

Welcome to Tui Nature Reserve
Tui Nature Reserve is made up of 42 hectares of mature and regenerating native bush, located in the Outer Pelorus of the Marlborough Sounds on New Zealand's South Island. Thirty-eight hectares are legally protected as part of the Queen Elizabeth II National Trust, thus ensuring preservation for generations to come. As part of a peninsula with no road access, the Reserve will in time become one of New Zealand's few 'mainland island’ sanctuaries.
To sustain this conservation project we have accommodation available on the reserve and organize eco boat cruises and tours. The number of visitors at Tui Nature Reserve will always be low which will make your experience personal and a lifetime memory.
Enjoy the beautiful walking tracks, secluded beaches, kayaking, native mature bush or just relax and enjoy the magnificent views.
We invite you to explore our website and welcome you to stay in our Wildlife Park.
Your hosts Brian, Ellen, Leona, Liam, & Esmae Plaisier

PREDATOR FENCE fund raising
To make a start with the bird-release of species like Robins and native common reptiles we need to build a 1000 meters long predator fence in the neck of the peninsula. A diverting / restricting predator fence combined with a solar powered electrical fence.
The cost of this fence is estimated at $30 per meter.
We have secured funding for 852 meters and NEED TO RAISE $4653.31 to fund the last 148 meters.
