From regenerating forest to mature 1200year old Kauri Trees.

Agnes from the California USA was amazed at the fruit in the forest.

Bush Lawyer (Rubus cissoides) is a vine that climbs trees,it is very stout and thick.

It flowers September to November,then Fruits November to April.

At the moment the fruit is in abundance.

Puketi Forest birds have more fruit available through the predator control

being undertaken in the forest.

Our walking guests were from North America and Europe, the age varied from Fifty to our oldest walker ever Ninety One. After recent rain the smell of the fresh clean forest was over powering, with musty odours to sweet fragrance of the many flowering native trees. The Tui, Grey warbler, King fisher, Tomtits were heard throughout the walk. From small ferns to the Mighty Giant Kauri tree the walkers were in awe with the sizes and the abundant Spring growth. An awesome day for all.
