Millennium Forest

Between 2000-2010 the Waipoua Forest Trust successfully replanted 155 hectares located at the southern edge of the Waipoua now known as the Millennium Forest. Manuka was used extensively as a nursery crop. Larger trees species have since been inserted, like kauri, of which there are hundreds in this reserve. We continue to work towards encouraging a diversity of species thrive on this reserve and our weed management work ensures natives have the space and resources to survive.

We have many native birds on the reserve as well as kauri snails. This area of Northland has a high population of North Island brown kiwi, making our pest management all the more important. Our pest control in the Millennium Forest targets rats, stoats, weasels, hedgehogs, possums, cats and pigs.
