Wilton is a small suburb in Wellington, New Zealand. It is best known for Ōtari-Wilton's Bush, a large reserve that is situated in the suburb. Ōtari-Wilton's bush is the only public botanic garden in New Zealand dedicated solely to native plants. It features 14 km of walking tracks and a 'canopy walkway'. The canopy walkway is a raised walkway that provides a unique chance to view life in, and from, the top level of trees such as mature tawa, rewarewa and hinau.
