Helicharter Nelson is excited to be a part of this project with the Department of Conservation Rotoiti/Nelson Lakes. In support of the project we can offer special pricing for hunting parties flying from St Arnaud - with conditions.
The Department of Conservation Rotoiti/Nelson Lakes has enlisted DOC concession holders Helicharter Nelson to undertake game animal management in the southern area of Nelson Lakes National Park. The block will include the area west of the D’Urville river, the Ella range, the Spenser mountains south of Thompson pass and Nardoo creek. This area is outside the most popular tramping tracks (the Travers-Sabine Circuit and the Te Araroa trail) in Nelson Lakes National Park (NLNP). There are excessive number of deer in this area of the park that are unable to be controlled by current methods.
In line with the NLNP management plan, for the purpose of game animal control Helicharter Nelson will be able to land in a designated area in NLNP from the 27th of October until the 11th of November 2021 and during the roar of April 2022 (dates TBC). Blocks of four days and three nights are preferred, to ensure all interested hunting parties are able to book. Interested hunting parties will be able to contact the helicopter operator directly to book flights into the area. The area is divided into 8 hunting blocks with identified landing sites and campsites (some huts available for use). The requirement is on hunting game animals for management purposes and is not for those who seek aircraft access into the National Park for other activities. All volunteers must report the number of animals seen and shot to the helicopter operator once they have been flown out. All costs sit with the hunting parties.
To book a hunting block contact the helicopter operator directly:
