Tarere Conservation Area
This Tarere Conservation Area block is a 2,147 ha area of Taranaki bush country under the Whanganui Forests permit area. Elevations run from about 78 m up to 338 m, with the median ground around 191 m, so this is lowland foothill country well below the bushline.
The block leans east in aspect, with strong shares also on south, south-east and west faces. Country is broken bush, ridges and gully systems typical of the Whanganui-side hill country — short faces cut by streams rather than open ground.
Game on the permit includes red deer, fallow deer, wild goat and wild pig. With four species and a useful size, the block supports a short multi-day trip into bush country.
