Driving Creek - Planting Project
Once a barren landscape, Driving Creek has been transformed since the 1970s by Barry Brickell, who replanted the 24 ha property with over 27,000 native species. Today, this thriving second-generation native forest is protected by QEII covenant, preserving it for future generations.
Driving Creek continues Barry's vision through environmental research, pest control programs, free conservation events, and unique educational experiences that connect people with New Zealand's natural beauty.
