Introduction

The Waimana Valley at the northern end of Te Urewera offers visitors a number of tramping options. You might be lucky to spot a long-tailed bat on one of your excursions in this area.

Te Urewera is recognised in New Zealand law as a living person. Te Urewera is spoken for and governed by a board. Care for Te Urewera, including the tracks and facilities, is carried out by Te Uru Taumatua – Ngāi Tūhoe’s operational entity.
