Taramoukou Conservation Area
Taramoukou Conservation Area is a 1,754 ha block of Taranaki bush country under the Taranaki Forests permit area. Elevations run from about 27 m up to 312 m, with the median ground around 149 m, so this is lowland foothill country well below the bushline.
Aspect leans west, with a fairly even spread across the remaining points. Country is broken bush, ridges and gully systems typical of the northern Taranaki backcountry — long stretches of low forest cut by streams rather than open ground.
Game on the permit covers wild goat and wild pig. The size supports a short multi-day trip targeting either species in the bush.
