Hamurana Springs Incorporated Society
Hamurana Springs
HSIS was formed in 2004 by the Hamurana community, concerned about how dilapidated the reserve had become under the previous two concession holders. The society has worked steadily to help restore the reserve to its former state.
This is done through volunteer working bees, clearing rubbish, running pest control operations, removing weeds as well as new plantings of native plants that has now run into multiple of acres replanted. In 2009 HSIS created the Ynys Fraser Walkway, an alterntive route to Hangarua Spring through the restoration work area.
