Join Forest & Bird's Waikato branch for a walk at Pukemokemoke Bush Reserve.
Just 20 minutes North of Hamilton, this 40-hectare reserve is home to over 300 native plants including matai, totara, kauri, kanuka and kahikatea.
The track features nine sites of interest, which are marked along the track. They include a log hauler site, a kauri grove, a lookout and the stopover pa.
There is also a great 360° view from the top.
Leave Hamilton at 10 a.m. to arrive at the carpark on Tauhei Rd at about 10:30 a.m.
