Information

Forest Amble

Time: 30 min return

A short enjoyable walk set in exotic woodland adjoining Dog Stream Reserve. Stops 1–4 located along the track are described in the Forest Walks description. This walk was developed by Carter Holt Harvey Forests and Wai Ora Conservation Corps. The predominant species is European larch (planted in 1904), which is one of few conifers that are deciduous. The track passes through a stand of 1904 Norway spruce. Continue straight on to Herdmans Ave and follow out to the carpark, or turn off through 1978 plantings of larch and Ponderosa pine that replaced trees blown down in the 1975 nor’west gales.
