Kaipara Walks

A Department of Conservation Visitor Centre, Phone: (09) 439-3017. There is a small DOC campground adjacent to Trounson Kauri Park In 1890, when the timber industry threatened to virtually wipe out Northland kauri forests 3.34 hectares was initially set aside here by the Government of the day. An early settler and saw miller James Trounson added a further 22 hectares to this initial gesture. Following the establishment of a Scenic Preservation Club, Mr Trounson offered to sell another 364 hectares of forest land to the Government for the value of the trees alone. It was officially opened as Trounson Kauri Park in 1921. Direct descendants of the Trounson family remain in the district and have a continued interest in the park.
