Mokau Conservation Area
Mokau Conservation Area covers 146 ha of the Taranaki forest fringes. The block is lowland to foothill country, set in mixed bush and gully country. Elevations run from about 0 m up to 251 m, with a median sample around 79 m.
The block leans predominantly to the west, so shaded sidles and faces are common on that side of the country.
Game on the permit includes wild goat and wild pig. With its modest size, this suits a short, focused stalk rather than a multi-day trip.
