Tanekaha Tramping Track Complex
The trusts builds walking and cycling tracks with a group of enthusiastic volunteers on
Friday mornings aiming to make Mangawhai the walking and cycling destination of Northland.
Work ranges from light maintenance of existing tracks to quite physical track construction.
The "Tanekaha Tramping Track" project involves the development, by volunteers, of access and walking tracks within a 300ha DoC reserve on the southern slopes of the Brynderwyn Hills. The resulting complex includes over 10km of spectacular forest, stream and waterfall walks already heavily used by walkers from Auckland to Whangarei.
The "Trackies" meet every Friday morning for 3 or 4 hours from 8am (summer) or 8:30am (winter). Join the team, once a month or every week.
Note: We can make special one-off arrangements for teams.
