The Owen River Lodge is the first in the world to be certified a net "Carbon Sink", which is sure to be a hook for climate-conscious anglers. Since registering the forest carbon sink in 2012, the reserve absorbes 896 tonnes of carbon dioxide annually in native bush growth. Owen River Lodge is a fly-fishing destination on the edge of Kahurangi National Park.
