Ruanga Te ao - Above The World
Rising 528 meters above sea level, Runga Te ao, once a land of mighty kauri with gold beneath its surface, is rich with history. This scenic 13 ha area features the Omahu Mail Trail, which links Puriri with Whangamatā and reveals remnants of the Klondyke mine, mature native bush, kauri groves, and surveyors camps. This area aims to develop walking and cycling trails as well as accommodation in a thriving ecosystem.
Why Plant Here:
- Contribute to a regenerative attraction in the making, where tourism directly supports conservation and environmental stewardship.
- Create a thriving habitat for native birds, adding to the natural soundtrack for future mountain bikers and hikers.
- Reestablish kauri groves, allowing future visitors and locals to see these giants in their natural setting.
- Transform the landscape into a lush, scenic attraction, offering visitors a unique backdrop for exploration.
Your contribution to this project helps transform Ruanga Te Ao into a vibrant, sustainable destination where conservation meets unforgettable experiences. Every tree planted adds to the beauty and biodiversity that future visitors will come to see, connect with, and remember.
