Pukenui Forest – Amalin Drive Carpark

Pukenui State Forest, with an area of 592 hectares, was last logged in the 1920s and has since regenerated quite vigorously containing most of the forest species found in Northland.
Pukenui is regionally important for its ecological, cultural and historic significance. DOC, local iwi, the Pukenui Western Hills Forest Charitable Trust and the community are committed to restoring Pukenui to the way it probably was before the arrival of predators when all species were able to flourish.
This work includes a revegetation programme, weed and pest control.
