Rerekino Conservation Area
Rerekino Conservation Area is a 521 ha block of Taranaki bush country under the Taranaki Forests permit area. Elevations run from about 135 m up to 373 m, with the median ground around 241 m, so this is lowland to mid-altitude foothill country well below the bushline.
The block leans strongly east, with around 30% of slopes facing that way and a useful share on north-east and south-east as well. Morning sun catches most of the block, with shaded faces limited. Country is short bush ridges and gully systems.
Game on the permit covers wild goat and wild pig. The compact size suits a day trip targeting either species.
