点评:Last night I took my granddaughters to the Brook Waimarama Sanctuary to do the Night Walk in the Forest. It was a great experience. Our knowledgeable guide gave us an interesting account of the setting up of the Sanctuary, the building and upkeep of the fence to exclude predators, and once they were removed the introduction of various species such as kiwi, kakariki and tuatara. On our walk we were very lucky to see a kiwi chick, a tuatara, 2 moreporks, glowworms and various insects. We also heard kiwis calling.
I should also like to mention the hundreds of volunteers whose help makes it all possible.
I would heartily recommend a visit to Nelson residents as well as tourists. We are so fortunate to have the largest predator free area in the South Island so close to the City and a chance to enjoy the beautiful native bush and its wonderful inhabitants.

我还要特别感谢数百名志愿者,正是他们的帮助才使得这一切成为可能。
我衷心推荐尼尔森的居民和游客都来这里参观。我们非常幸运,拥有南岛最大的无捕食者保护区,而且距离市区如此之近,让我们有机会欣赏美丽的原始森林和其中奇妙的居民。
