Join Te Ahu Pātiki Kaituhituhi Sarah Anderson on this wonderful walk through the park where she will talk about the incredible progress being made on restoration of this precious maunga.

Starting at the Valley Track Entrance in Orton Bradley Park we follow the track through gently undulating mixed forest until we reach the boundary with Te Ahu Pātiki. From there we start to climb the Mataī Track, quite steeply but through lovely regenerating bush, to Lacebark Terrace.

Lacebark Terrace is a lovely area and an ideal spot for a leisurely lunch break before we descend again to Orton Bradley Park. This walk is a great way to get insight into the regeneration process when farmland is retired, pests are controlled and Papatūānuku / Mother Nature is paramount.
