Regenerating kauri forests in the Waitakere Ranges Regional Parkland are just part of a mixture of rainforest associations in this rugged country. Around 500 different species of higher plants are recorded from this botanically diverse area. The parkland protects 16,000 hectares of ranges to the west of suburban Auckland, abutting the Manukau Harbour and the Tasman Sea. Recreational values include more than 200 kilometres of walking and tramping tracks, through the forests and along the coasts.
