Tokomaru East Block Conservation Area
Tokomaru East Block Conservation Area is a 533 ha block in the Manawatu-Wanganui region, taken out under the Whanganui Restricted permit area. Elevations run from about 169 m up to 491 m, with a median around 311 m, so this is lowland to foothill bush country well below the bushline.
Aspects are evenly spread, with a slight lean to south and south-west. There is no single dominant face — the block is rolling bush country with workable approaches for most wind directions, broken by spur-and-gully systems.
Game on the permit includes red deer, fallow deer, wild goat and wild pig. It is bush-and-spurs hunting in the wider Whanganui Restricted country.
