Tracks upgrade
Track upgrading work is on the agenda for summer for Ohakune Department of Conservation staff. Work for two summer staff will include laying 400 metres of rafting (mini-board walks) on the Mangaturuturu tussock land on the Round the Mountain track. The board walks make for easier walking for trampers but more importantly protect vegetation from being trampled into mud. Meanwhile Tourism Taskforce folk are working on Whakapapa walks also, concentrating on the high-use short tracks in the area, bringing them up to easy walk standard, and on the popular tramping tracks, putting in steps, boardwalks, silt traps and gravelling, to alleviate some of the foottraffic damage done in the past.
