THE ORIGINS of North-west Nelson's limestone "islands" such as the Matiri Range can be traced back 37 million years ago. Flanked by impressive bluffs, the plateaux of the Matiri Range support unusually fertile soils and hence a wonderfully rich and unique ecosystem, embracing an astonishing 437 plant species.
