Pepin Island
It is joined to the mainland by a naturally-formed pathway made from boulders that have tumbled down nearby hillsides and then been shaped into a causeway by the sea.[4] In 1996, the island was bought by the German businesswoman Dr Viola von Hohenzollern (née Hallman) for NZ$2 million.[5][6] When von Hohenzollern bought the island, it was overgrazed, run down and had many wild goats that prevented the growth of native bush.Von Hohenzollern and farm manager, Andrew Newton, won a top Nelson Tasman Environmental award in 2011 for their custodianship.[6][1] The new owner has introduced public open days, and the second one was run in May 2015,[6] which attracted over 1,000 people and was again a fundraiser for the Hira Volunteer Fire Force.
