A 14-acre QEII reserve of old native bush near Rangiwahia, reached from the Pemberton Corner picnic area at the corner of Mangamako Road and Rangiwahia Road. The website says it has more than 250 very large trees, some estimated at over 1,000 years old, including giant kahikatea and maire, along with walking tracks and plentiful birdlife. A sign-posted bird corridor leads from the picnic area to the bush. Visitors say the walk in is short, about five minutes on a flat grass track, and that there are picnic tables in pleasant settings. One visitor says it is best when not too wet. The reserve is part of a long-term preservation project, and donations go towards planting and track upkeep.
