Omahuta Forest Scenic Reserve No 2
Omahuta Forest Scenic Reserve No 2 is a 409 ha block in the Omahuta-Puketi country of central Northland. Elevations run from 61 m up to 371 m with a median of 143 m, putting the reserve in lowland to foothill bush.
Aspect is broadly spread, with no single face dominant — strong shares to the north, north-east and west. The block carries subtropical kauri-podocarp-broadleaf cover typical of the Omahuta-Puketi forests.
Wild pig is the only listed species — no goats on this particular reserve's permit despite the wider Omahuta-Puketi system carrying both.
