The Hawkes Bay Wilding Pines Community Group is an entity specifically set up with DOC to manage wilding pines in The Lakes area of the Kaweka Forest Park in Hawkes Bay. These twin lakes are named Rotoroa and Rototuna. This is a particularly beautiful and sensitive part of the Kaweka Forest Park. It comprises 98 hectares that we hope to clear completely of wilding pines. The lakes and their surrounds host over 280 native plant species; including several that are uncommon and nationally significant. This is part of DOC’s plan to shield the Ruahine Ranges particularly, but also to control spread within the Kaweka’s, from wilding pine infestation.
