Join our family for a restful forest restoration project in Nelson, Tasman, New Zealand

• 

  Description

  Our home and project is set on 5 acres of sunny land in Nelson looking out over Tasman Bay and the Kahurangi National Park in the distance. We are 10 minutes' drive from the beach and the CBD. Our native forest regeneration project has been underway for 20 years. Progress has been slow but satisfying. Now we would like to accelerate with strong helpers, fresh ideas and new friends. You will be welcomed to Restful Ridge by hosts Sally and Matt who have backgrounds in medicine, search & rescue, IT, gardening and tramping. We look forward to sharing our passion for New Zealand and knowledge of the local environment.
