Kahuterawa Bush (Manawatu) Traditional Cache

The cache is located in a scenic reserve, which is a remnant of riparian forest near Linton on the outskirts of Palmerston North. There is a 5-minute bush walk to the cache, which is a bison tube. You need to bring your own pen and there is no room for swaps and trackables. Please replace the cache exactly as you found it; thanks! 

The Kahuterawa Bush Remnant land is managed by the Department of Conservation.  The aim is to restore the bush, and create a reserve that residents can enjoy and local schools can use as a resource for environmental education.

Various groups have been working for many years to restore and enhance the Kahuterawa Bush Remnant. Interested parties include the Palmerston North Rotary Club, the New Zealand Defence Force, Palmerston North Intermediate Normal School, Forest & Bird, the Department of Conservation, Horizons Regional Council, Palmerston North City Council, Green Corridors and the Linton community. Day-to-day care of the bush is now being taken care of as part of the larger Lower Kahuterawa Stream Biodiversity Restoration Project, a partnership between Horizons Regional Council, Massey University and the NZ Defence Force.

Please stick to the tracks where possible, and take care underfoot – lots of newly-planted small trees are growing! You will need to leave the track near the GZ to find the cache.

Ample safe parking is on the hard standing near the petrol station, by the gate to the reserve.  If you decide to park closer and take a short cut, please beware of the traffic on the highway.

While you're here, why not try for the neighbouring caches:
