Huiroa Conservation Area
Huiroa Conservation Area is a small 307 ha block in Taranaki, sitting under the Taranaki Forests permit area. Elevations run from about 104 m to 295 m, with the median ground around 180 m, so this is lowland foothill country well below the bushline.
The block leans west in dominant aspect, with a fairly even spread across the remaining points. Country here is low and rolling rather than steep, and slopes are short — typical of the small bush remnants and broken pasture margins of eastern Taranaki.
Game on the permit covers wild goat and wild pig. With its small footprint and easy elevation, the block suits a short trip targeting goats and pigs in the bush and edge country.
