Conservation Area - No 4 Rd
Conservation Area - No 4 Rd is a 147 hectare public hunting block in the Tauranga Area permit zone, Bay of Plenty. Elevations run from 227 m up to 533 m, with a median of 367 m — lowland foothill country sitting well below the bushline.
This is bush-covered ground typical of the western Bay of Plenty hill country. Slopes lean south on the dominant aspect, with strong shares of south-east and south-west giving mostly shaded sidles and gully systems.
Game on the permit includes red deer, fallow deer, wild goat and wild pig. At this size No 4 Rd is a day-hunt block rather than a destination trip.
