Happy International Day of Forests!

The theme for this year is "Forest restoration: a path to recovery and well-being”, as the restoration and sustainable management of forests help address the climate change and biodiversity crises we face.

Te Āpiti Manawatū Gorge is a diverse forest ecosystem in a dramatic landscape. It is a time capsule that preserves the bush that once covered the Manawatū, a place frozen in time, and it’s right at our backdoor.

Although priorities and methods have changed over time, conservation efforts in Te Āpiti Manawatū Gorge have always aimed to protect, restore and enhance the biodiversity values in this special place.

For the Te Āpiti Manawatū Gorge Governance Group, the long-term conservation goal is to reduce animal and plant pest populations, and restore forest health, to a level that would allow the safe and sustainable reintroduction of native species that once lived in here, such as the toutouwai (North Island robin).

The Department of Conservation has advised that the Woodville end of Te Āpiti - Manawatū Gorge is currently closed while construction work to replace two boardwalks takes place. The Eastern End Loop Track (note, not the Tawa Loop track at the Ashhurst end) is expected to be closed until the end of April 2021. This means anyone wanting to complete the full-length track from Ashhurst to Woodville will be unable to do so. Thanks for your understanding and co-operation while we improve this recreational feature of Te Āpiti.
