Koriniti Conservation Area
Koriniti Conservation Area is a small 136 ha block in the Manawatu-Wanganui region, taken out under the Whanganui Reserves permit area. Elevations run from about 41 m up to 516 m, with a median around 245 m, so this is lowland to foothill bush country well below the bushline.
The block has a strong north-and-east lean, with about a third of the country facing north-east and another 30% facing north. East-facing sidles also pick up a useful share. That makes for sun-facing country dropping toward the Whanganui River, with warmer-aspect feed and limited southerly cover.
Game on the permit includes red deer, fallow deer, wild goat and wild pig. At this scale it is a focused short-stalk block rather than a multi-day proposition.
