Pukenui Forest Loop Track
National forest
👍👍 Beautiful walking track within easy driving distance from Kamo. Well worth the drive. The work in pest management and control means the chances of seeing less common native and endemic birds is high. Was cool to see a North Island Tomtit as I walked. The forest floor is beautiful too.
