Catlins Conservation Park is a protected area in the Otago region of New Zealand, covering 53,041 hectares in The Catlins, within the Clutha District.[1]
The park includes the McLean Falls,[2] and a range of tramping tracks.[3]
History
The park was established in 1975.[1]
It was included in the 1080 pest control programme in 2014.[4]
The body of missing Dunedin man Stephen Lowe was found in the park in September 2017 by a librarian and her dog.[5][6]
In January 2019, local MP Sarah Dowie proposed converting the park into a national park.[7]
