Tangatapu Wetland Area Traditional Cache

On the way to the whaling station see the great job that many volunteers are doing. An easy walk to the cache, but do carry on!!!!

Tangatapu Wetland Project 

Restoring the Wairua (spirit or soul) of the Tangatapu wetland. This is a degraded Kahikatea swamp forest at the beginning of the DOC walkway to the Whangamumu whaling station on Rawhiti Peninsula in the Eastern Bay of Islands. We are returning this swamp forest that once cloaked this valley tree by tree. It is part of a series of restoration and weed and pest control projects which together are restoring the wairua of the Eastern Bay.
