Terence Paul Stewart, the Founder and Owner of Native Restorations, has a lifelong connection with the South Island of New Zealand, where he grew up exploring its landscapes through hunting and fishing. At 19, he pursued a position with the Department of Conservation's (DOC) pest control team, driven by his love for the outdoors.

​

During his five years at DOC, Terence worked on protecting endangered species and assisting specialists in pest control and track-cutting across various regions. However, a severe fall left him almost paralyzed and sidelined for eight years, during which he turned to art as a form of therapy and structure.

​

Following his recovery, Terence transitioned to high country fencing and began his journey into pest weed control. Over time, he established Native Restorations, now comprising a team of eight passionate individuals dedicated to nature conservation.

​

Together, they work tirelessly to preserve and restore New Zealand's natural ecosystems, driven by a shared love for the wilderness and a commitment to making a positive impact.

 

Welcome to Native Restorations, where dedication meets conservation.
