On 12 October 2013, members of the Canterbury Botanical Society explored Culverden Scientific Reserve. We also visited Medbury Scientific Reserve earlier in the day (see its separate NatureWatch project).
Culverden Scientific Reserve is one of the few remaining remnants of dryland kanuka forest on the Canterbury Plains. The reserve is surrounded by intensive dairying, with centre pivot irrigators reaching right up to the boundary.
