PUKEMIRO RIDGE

Pukemiro Ridge is a 60 hectare block near the coast at Aranga, with steep slopes, rolling hills and a freshwater spring, creek and wetland. Areas vulnerable to erosion and water pollution were planted out in 2020-21 with hardy nursery crop species.  Regeneration of the surrounding areas is currently underway and our ambition is to have the 60ha planting project completed by 2024. The Trust has erected a native nursery on this site to provide plants for this project, which can produce up to 60,000 seedlings.
