Queenstown Airport and the Remarkables Station National Trust are teaming up to restore native biodiversity

The partnership between the two organisations focuses on Remarkables Station - nestled between the mountains and Lake Whakatipu.

It is currently leased as a working deer, cattle, and sheep farm.

The aim is to eradicate a sycamore tree infestation, allowing native plants to regenerate over the coming decade.

Queenstown Airport's Sara Irvine says the Remarkables are the first thing passengers see when they step off a plane.
