Windy Hill Sanctuary is a long-running ecological restoration project on the southeast of Aotea / Great Barrier Island focused on integrated pest plant and animal control to protect and enhance native biodiversity. Managed by the Windy Hill Rosalie Bay Catchment Trust, the sanctuary covers hundreds of hectares where invasive pests are controlled and native species such as kererū, kākā, pateke and rare skinks thrive at increasing levels.
