Trounson Kauri Park in Northland was one of the first 'mainland islands' established by the Department of Conservation. The forest lies on a side road north of Dargaville, and near the Waipoua Kauri Sanctuary. Intensive pest control has been used here to help the recovery of North Island brown kiwi. Techniques of pest control developed here are now being used in other projects which aim to protect local kiwi populations from predators such as stoats and ferrets.
