Pukenui Western Hills Forest Charitable Trust - preserving native forest and wildlife near Whangarei Northland New Zealand
It is a relatively large area of native (temperate) lowland broadleaf forest, a type of habitat now rare in New Zealand. It is known to contain a number of threatened species, including long-tailed bat, North Island brown kiwi and New Zealand wood pigeon.
The area also contains sites of importance to Maori and Europeans, including the Kauika Pa site, Pa of Te Parawhau and remnants of former logging and quarrying activities.
The region is also an important source of high-quality water for the residents of Whangarei, with the Whau Valley Water Catchment supplying 50 - 60% of the water to the City Water Supply Area.
