Have you ever wanted to have 37,000 ha of forest on your front lawn, well the Kaimai Mamaku Forest Park is for you. Have you walked through a breath taking bush before, well I don’t think so the Kaimai Mamaku Forest Park has breath taking bush walks, bike tracks, bird watching and even the odd brown trout around the beautiful rivers flowing through the bush. There are so many native New Zealand trees in the Kaimai Mamaku Forest Park, like the Rimu tree, the Rata vine, the Silver fern and the flax. These trees are traditionally known in the Maori culture to make all sorts of clothing and baskets.
