Sights & Activities - Eco-Tours and Adventure
The Marlborough Sounds Wildlife Recovery Centre is a facility for wildlife rehabilitation, enhancement, protection, and education. We offer a range of day trips from Picton to visit the Centre, including options for day walks on the Queen Charlotte Track and lunch in our cafe. The Lodge is also home to an Arts Centre.
Eco Tours
Self guided Eco Tours are available around Lochmara Lodge. We have a network of educational signs informing you of plants, animals, history, geology, conservation projects and much more. There is also interaction with endangered species breeding programs and not to mention the abundance of native birds.
Wildlife Rehabilitation
In partnership with the Department of Conservation we provide a facility for injured wildlife to be housed and nursed, until they can be released back into the wild. Until now the recovery of injured wildlife has fallen in the hands of local DOC officers, with animals being nursed in back yards and living rooms.
Endangered species enhancement
In partnership with the Department of Conservation we are captive breeding native endangered species such as Gecko, Kakariki and Weka for education and the enhancement of predator free areas.
Mainland island
We are controlling predator numbers and habitat planting in the Lochmara area, offering safe refuge for native species for you to view in the wild.
