formally protected.
Ecological context - High Provides habitat for regionally distinctive species and is an
important link in a corridor of native vegetation along the sides of
the Waiwhakaiho river.
Representativeness - High The ecosystem type is WF13, Tawa, kohekohe, rewarewa, hinau,
podocarp forest which is classified as 'Chronically threatened'.
There is approximately 16% of this type of ecosystem left in the
Taranaki region.

protection with a QEII Trust open space covenant.
B Regulatory protection by
local government
Yes General regional or district rules might apply.

To date no threatened, at risk or regionally distinctive species have
been observed at the site. The ecosystem type is now rare owing to
widespread development for agriculture and urban development.

Within the region the population is also changing.
