NZTM2000: 1600000, 2035 (alt: 0m)

The third of three 'Winchcombe biv's. It was built by exNZFS culler Paul Gush at his home & on 28 April, 2021, flown to the site by Amalgamated Helicopters. Volunteers involved were John McCann, Mike Wilkinson, Grant Timlin, Mike Willkinson, Josh Murray, Hitiri Turner, Sandy Allan, Josh Murray, Megan Dimozantos & Greg Barber. It is on the same site as the 2 other bivs, but this structure is a ‘throw-back’ to the original ‘dog-box’ design. March, 2024, saw passive venting added as a back up to the active venting in the biv. The biv is managed by the exNZFS volunteer group (https://tarhc.org.nz/2068-2/) but owned by the BCT (https://www.backcountrytrust.org.nz/projects-blog/winchcombe-biv-returns)
